DOWA YALANNE On the two-hundredth anniversary of our nation’s birth, slivers of sunrise unveil a hushed pueblo landscape. A crimson Volkswagen Beetle exits the driveway of an adobe block building with an oversized “Zuni Legal Services” sign above the front door. The car’s headlights illuminate an arts center across the road that sells turquoise and silver jewelry, kachina dolls, fetishes, and pot

The Lane is a mosaic of small, square bricks. There’s a flattened frog on the ground like a pressed leaf. It’s common after rain. Dark purple, grey, blue spots. The crunch. Grains of soil between my shoes and concrete pavers. Is this the grit they put on the icy winter road to stop slips – reminding

Zdenka Čavić: And So We Travel

Image: Unsplash, downloaded (https://unsplash.com/photos/oxQ0egaQMfU) 26.03.2022. THE SEARCH FOR THE MEANING OF LIFE The illusion to which we are subject leaves us with a variety of mirages that entice us, takes us further and further away from the peace in which we would turn to ourselves. The deafening noise with which we feed the senses, just follows the long-paved paths. Like an addiction. It disperses like a puff of smoke from a passionate smoker. We inhale a deadly pois

Mike Lee: We Are Invisible People

Image: Unsplash, downloaded (https://unsplash.com/photos/sc1Eoqpr0sQ) 8.1.2022. October 1976 The Halloween decorations are out, and the holiday is two weeks and two days away. The party is at a two-story Victorian with flaking and chipped white paint, exposing the pine boards. I see the planks are uneven as we are on the cracked slate path. Unless someone finally buys the place from the family, I give it ten years before the house gets demolished. This house stands on the hil
