The Lonely Bird: A poem by Mark Alberto Yoder Nuñez
The night is perilous, dark and cold
The lonely bird sits perched on his roost up above in the
highest branches of the Tree
Keeping still, trying to stay warm
Eyes sometimes closed, sometimes opened very narrowly
Alert, wary of the slithering or gentle padding
The rustling that is not the gentle, night breeze
The anxious breath held in check of creeping, predatory night
creatures
The feline stealth, the restless serpent tongue
The night so dark and ominous as it were Eternal and never
again...

Untitled Poem
I walk along the street in the shade of the trees
Bits of light and shadow dance on walls and sidewalk
I should cross over to the sunny side of the street
But I feel like tarrying longer in the cool of the shadows
On the other side of the street is Life
When I cross over
Soon I will be warm and sweaty but feeling so alive
So I tarry awhile longer among the shadows
Where everything seems so lucid

New Poem: Between LA and SF
So why are you so heaven blessed?
Every day is sun caressed
Every day you find fulfillment
But you ask yourself, “What alternative?”
To live a life that’s meaningless?
Days filled with emptiness
Is that the way you would leave your book
On your last day when life is through?

NPR, Political Propaganda and Syria
November 1st, 2015
I turned on my car radio early this morning in a small town I happen to be in only to find an NPR affiliate, public broadcasting station delivering the morning news. It started with a fluff piece about an actress who is making a name for herself for being a rather eccentric, bad girl. Then it turned to the more serious news. The other stories seemed to have some credibility until a news piece started about what is going on with the war in Syria. News about Syria was one of...

Oil Spill in Santa Barbara 5-20-2015
Photo by Edward McCabe
On Wednesday an oil pipeline ruptured and spilled oil that eventually made its way to the ocean and along the Santa Barbara area coastline. Estimates so far are that approximately 105,000 gallons of oil were spilled. The oil spilled for a few hours before it was shut off. The pipeline that ruptured moved oil from an onshore oil facility to processing plants in other areas. The oil spilled into a culvert, then went under a highway and into a storm drain that spilled in...
