Honduras, 2009

by Ross Vassilev

drifting like the ghost
of Trotsky
in the white dawn
the white sky above me
is the same over
the skyline of Tegucigalpa
where the U.S. just
overthrew democracy
again.
all the generals were
trained at
The School of The Americas
in the state of Georgia
the school where
they instruct
pro-American terrorists
in the dirty work
of empire to protect
“our hemisphere”
as the North Americans
call it. the coup took place
a week ago.
we’ll see what happens next.
