Where It Began
The Atomic Café stays with me, over
even the most perfect of days.
I think about the arrogance of power
and how most people live in a daze.
I think on the geniality of the average citizen,
how willing,...

MISSIONARY IN PETEN
A woman devoted to saints
Of Easter candles and Mass incense
Praised the Lord
Because she had a body
Worthy of merit
That had already been hinted at
More than once
The parish priest in confession:
-My daughter, what's wrong with you?
-A fever,...

A Summer In Reflection
The morning sun hovers coyly
behind broad shoulders of the John Crow Mountain
before unwrapping petals of fever plant and Venice.
Mama’s countenance was far contrast to one so radiant,
so when the old Leyland bus went shuddering...

The Mayan’s were the focus
Of our Guatemala stop

Had a lunch and stopped to shop

Of any tours you take
But the devil’s in the details

Maps
At times, Spanish becomes
An incomprehensible
Tangle of strange words
Like strange woods
And unfamiliar sounds
That roll like hills
And confuse my senses-
English is my natural
Habitat, but to my lover,
English is a new land
Which still feels altogether
Unfamiliar under his...

My Best Friend Doesn'T Speak English
I have a best friend.
He doesn't speak English, but
He lets me ask him anything-
He's got big brown eyes that watch
As the world goes by like falling stars-
He just watches, always watches...
He's too warm for North...

Guatemalan Orphan
Little Guatemalan child on the floor
In the heat, shaded by the shop door,
Alone and dirty
Clothed in filthy rags,
Holding a little brother
She’s wrapped him in torn bags
Begging for any money,
She is in desperate need,
Not eaten in...

When Skies of Cobalt Blue - Act 2
Images now received by satellite
Show spaceships similar to here
In Tunguska, deepest Russia
The largest seems to appear
Near the Kingdom of Scourie, Scotland
From the Minch it slowly arose
The third of them showed so silently
Highlanders agape, froze

Olfactory Journeys
How amazing that
The merest scent
Wafting through the air
Can transport
Through time and space
To places remembered,
And allow
For the re-creation
Of poignant moments.
The smell of
Fresh baked bread
Takes me to my
Mother’s kitchen table,
Surrounded by siblings
And neighbor kids
All...

How I Quit Jersey for Juliapa
It’s tattooed lightly on my upper arm
“I love my mom, and she loves me”, it reads.

“We’ve nailed you, boy. You’ll do no further harm.”

Hot Tamale
Hot Tamale
By Dane Smith-Johnsen
Man from
Guatemala,
Educator-
Hot tamale.
Lessons learned
Adoration churned.
Another’s love
A young heart burned.
From darkest fear,
You drew love near.
Esteem encroached.
By promises cloaked.
Straightforward.
Real. Life had zeal.
It was a huge ordeal.
Living had...
