Santa Annas


Santa Annas

Looking deep into fleshly faces
During the time of dry, spirit-filled airs
and screens only.
Meatspace is now uncanny.
A hillside fire consumes.
The ancestors are with us--
In our wrinkles, our laughter, our foibles, our prejudices.
Now we are an electronic parody
Of past
and regressive, recycled present.
The time of the Old Ones in Power is closing, as they shake with rage and terror
sucking all they can from us, like the illusions and headaches of Santa Ana winds.
Some leaves fall, others disintegrate on the branch.
