For Pola Negri Infused Wth Hope And Dreams
You are not alone
If you will walk underneath
You will see the lightbenders
And the outlanders
And hear those
Who speak in colors
Not included in the rainbow
As they mist into the foggy shadows
Of the Biloweiz Forest
Searching for a flannel tableau
Of baby Jesus
In a place
Where all the kiddies
Love cold stars
And survive on Wisent pemmican
Dipped in tobacco nectar

Patrick O’Riley, a very unusual fellow, studied creative writing at the University of New Mexico. He worked on the Mike Douglas show, picked tomatoes in Montana and peaches in South Carolina, pan handled in downtown LA and has spent his life writing about his experiences. He said this about his own work: “I can't think of my past without the spirit of Gabriel saying "This is boring, juice it up a little by telling about your life with the six anarchist Mexican midgets." O’Riley lives in Hurley, New Mexico.
