Her coyote was a tall young man from Mexico who looked like a dual version of the Greek sculpture Ephebe of Antikythera. His skin as bronze as the sculpture, body as chiseled, hair as curly and eyes as golden.
She retains this internalized frame of him; existing tall, shirtless & perspiring, fierce sun-rays radiate bronze and gold tones that beam simultaneously from his skin to his eyes—almost angelic. His unibrow matches the identity of his mustache as they both sit coarse although combed, under his beige ingrained sombrero. The only thing sheathed was his lower-self, which was held up by a buckled belt, light-blue Levi’s and black lustrous leather cowboy boots.
His pose—same as the sculpture, right hand held out as his back muscles flex and fluctuate the tattooed angel wings.
Fero liked to think of him as an Archangel with a gun.

Go Tell it on the Mountain by James Baldwin
Published on the 18th of May, 1953, ‘Go Tell it on the Mountain’ became the book that James Baldwin is probably most famous for. Including the very real impacts of violence upon the African American community during a time of turbulence for Civil Rights, James Baldwin became an absolute superstar not just of his race, but of the oppressed in every situation, in every country, all over the world. From Palestine to the Civil Rights Movement, from the LGBTQA+ to Muslim Migrants from war-torn countries, James Baldwin is the voice of the oppressed not just through the way he presents the division, but the way he presents a reality that the oppressors could not possibly be aware of. A reality in which every day is a fight to survive. What makes this even more real is that this is a semi-autobiographical novel. In my personal opinion, James Baldwin was the most articulate man in history.
