Desultory Day of All Souls




Full Moon
of All Souls Day



Continuing the Flaneur's
day by day photo-journal
web log of
Haunted Holy week


Laid back and bone weary
after the ascent
a relaxed look at
Dia de los Muertos


Awake too early,
in the dawn light
Che Monument in the town
in Bolivia where he was killed,
Born one hundred years ago
Che is an enduring
archetype of the revolutionary

I re-photoed this image
from 9 October issue
of the NY Times





Death is a luxury
for some people
A plush motif










A massive new mural
in progress in downtown
Oakland

Berkeley
City of Buds and Flowers
title from an old book
of amateur poetry







Seig Heil the flag
goosestep's the new step
in town









The drive-by mural
seen with other eyes
A belle époque inspired
stylized nude

Out again after dark





Oakland
City of imagined slights
city of black magic

 Found artwork
Looks like a door-prize
at a Day of the Dead
party at a bar
summarily ditched outside





Night people need
understanding,
We have eyes
too big for daylight







The miracle of
the full moon rising

Instinctually
one feels like we will
always see it happen






But in truth
one's full moons
were always numbered
