Like coffee and cream,
a negro and blonde swirl and
blend to become One....

Across the sky a Negro alone fell
In the expression of racy blue
All bowing in barley grace!...

Peacefully playing
Indigo notes
Angelic mood swaying
Negro spiritual hope

The
eyes show
subjection,
melancholy
and 
a
resigned
acceptance-
yet beauty shines
through.

Head of a Negro by Watteau...

Sky and the Earth
The two thick lips like of a Negro
Lips sticked both in blue
Making the two lips points kissing,rain
Rain water like saliva between the kissing lips!...

casas fumadores
estreche puente
sobre
el agua negro
durmiendo
en silencio
que van en aumento
se desvanes
mas alla del espacio
verde
cielo azul grisaceo
rodea
a traves de turbulentos
somos una mota de polvo...

well, something
happen
that evening
on the
back porch
along the
Mississippi River
the cherry wood
chimes jingled
in unison
playing an 
on old
Negro Tune
called, 
"Wade In the Water"
the cherry wood
keep singing
along...

Let the Negro sing
“I, born a king 
Black be in the ring
Win the all the kings
Sing sweetly! Sing!
Sing Negro songs
Sing Martin’s song
Fear not the fogs 
Watch the Negro reign
See his fading pain
Scars can’t remain
On the back hit with chains”...

Fuzzy.
Criss-crossed and 
checkerboarded but mostly fuzzy
Blue neon stain marks 
The march of time
Scary, Espantoso, cualquier prefieres.
All is black now. But not totally 
Negro with dabs of magenta
And not ‘till this line is done.
Fuzzy,...

He thinks his daddy is a superhero;
The ultimate action figure and model negro.
Who flies by night into his faintest dreams
And recedes with shadows as the day seems
To close with toy box lids.  Asleep he goes
Hoping for daddy like legendary heroes....

on the
witness stand
my knees buckled
my throat 
was dry
as, i soften
my tongue
listening and 
showing
sweet mercy
towards the
young Negro 
slave
who was
brutally 
whip beaten
thus, accused of
murdering
a prejudice and
abusive
white plantation
owner
all for the 
love of 
money...

Created to please.
I can't do nothin else. But serve
God's meekest and weakest first.
The others can wait.
And why not?
I let the last lead, for they know
how to find water in the desert.
They know that life is sustained
and maintained through the moisture
of the woman. I AM
that river of which the negro speaks....

The whiteness of snow,
The tanned golden glow,
The beautiful deep colour of Negro,
The enchanting eyes only the oriental know,
The wonderful diversity in which we grow,
The glory of the human in this poem I show.
To enjoy diversity is spiritual catalyst,
To enjoy the division is racist...
We are all one or none...
... ... the human race....

Y ahora el camino
palabra de espiga.

Ahora me nombras
palabra de verso.

Ahora me atas
palabra de sueño.

Ahora me asustas
palabra de negro.

Ahora me tocas
palabra de beso.

Y entonces me miras
palabra de espejo
y ante tu mirada contemplo mi aspecto.

Y ahora cerezos
la voz de jardines
palabras de lluvia
gotas de silencio....

My heart is filled with such a longing
To be with those from my yesterdays
The days grow short, yet the nights are long
Sweet horns, play for me..and take me home.




Inspired by the negro spiritual “ Going Home’.
There is some dispute about who wrote this piece ,
But it is based on Largo..from Antonin Dvorak’s
Symphony from the New World....

Utopia dark
Brown sparrows
Black robins
Spirit bleeds clear 
Oxygenic turns 
Red my heart beat run
I washed my hands, they're still dirty 
I comb my hair it's yet curly 
My skin tones dark and brown who am I
I
AM
OF COLORED
Negro
Black
An AFRICAN AMERICAN
I am also a Brown Sparrowcenter>

I'm going to start giving money to the United Negro College Fund.
It will be one of the greatest things that I've ever done.
I want black people to expand their minds and to be all they can be.
I want them to be bursting with knowledge as they accept their degrees.
They'll need a good education in this world they must face.
It's true that a mind is a terrible thing to waste....

Nur schwarzes Wasser
Wie die Nacht ohne Mondschein
Heute die Mandau

Only black water
As a night without moonlight
Today the Mandau

Sólo agua negro
Como una noche sin luna
Hoy día el Mundau



Note: The Mandau River is flowing through Zittau, Saxony and meets the Neisse river at the
German/Polish border...

LIVE AT UMBRIA JAZZ

Fahir Atakoglu, Alain Caron
Horacio “El Negro” Hernandez
Live at Umbria Jazz, music so muscular,
driving and relentless that it feels like
the thunderstorms inside of my head on
the best of my days – the closest jazz comes
to the perpetual motion, impromptu
coordination, and the legitimate violence of
a rugby contest before partisan fans who,
think what you may, know art
when they see it!...

Dark is my white domain
White knights of hate 
strode through some kind of gate
banners bared high, 
Moor
Asian
Latino
or negro
who cares?
I own the world! 
Chaucer beware! With
Nose cone dipped in blood and white powder
I writ futures
Mine in gold runes
Theirs on streaming water
Through their pride
My ignorance shines bright
To spread this hate gospel
And hope that they don't waken
To my coward facades....

Child of Ham, image of Christ, gospelled bands
Ancestor of Melchizedek order
Negro oracle of prophet, priest, king
Anthem to you with drums and cymbal hands
Arising in the Horeb of your power
Nations steep in Afric's legacy sing

                         2
Canaan, first of he who was last, shift
Ages paradigm, became
Again the heir to Christ
Nimrod's legacy disdained would uplift
Adam's curse upholding the flame
Nurtured in sacrifice....

overcome over fifty years
I have a dream, in arrears
we shall - shall we?
well - we'll see
fifty years later and
the Negro still is not free
tell 'em about the dream 
again Martin
tell 'em Trayvon - tell Martin
