The Happiness Report
from the pagan haven
of a guarded and gated

dying of tourist cancer
Hotel Roma Sacre-Coeur
Indian Wonder
Temple Nepal
Known to God
“The voice of your brother’s blood

Outback Trek: Hebel Town Dreamtime
Roaming the Never Never
an ancient and sacred land
where the secreted past
paves over a haunted future
Lingering upon the red desert sand
crimes not forgotten
A whisper from the Dreamtime
asking …
“Can all things be forgiven?”

of an Allen Ginsberg howl

To click the mouse

Then hiss the growl
with some lone wolf
of nondescript sandwich meat
