Promised Land (2026) No marigolds in the promised land There's a hole in the ground where they used to grow Any man left on the Rio Grande Is the king of the world, king of the world, as far as I know... - Donald Fagan / Walter Becker

Promised Land (2026)
An apocalyptic and surreal image of a world on fire. Billowing clouds on fire and a landscape burning.

No marigolds in the promised land
There's a hole in the ground where they used to grow
Any man left on the Rio Grande
Is the king of the world, king of the world, as far as I know...

Firebirds Are Go! (2026)

Fire Bird
The fire bird is
identified again.

Trees blow up
in the forest

where once
their wings and

throats were colors
of forgiveness.

The cottonwood
outlining my window

totters again.
Every year,

the fire bird scorches
what you can’t have.

It is not his beauty
that I regret.

It is the cry
to those that listen

to the bird—
“I burn them now.
Someday, I will find you.”
- Ray González
