Twisted City Part oneA Chapter by Coyote PoetryNever underestimate fate. When we swim in sin. The Devil may find you.Twisted city
The Greyhound is speeding down the highway to the city of Angels. John Coyote is in a deep sleep. Falls to the ground. Then stand up with eye of hate.
He awake from the dream and he saw the light of the Los Angeles in the distance. The ghosts of people of the old were still here from another time. A city based on many dreams and ideas. The city awake the inner spirit. It was a holy ground for the people who were buried in hate. He got off the bus and walks into the city.
The city was always alive. Lonely and sad faces not looking at each other. Most of them with no place to go. They were desperate and afraid.
The not so bad temperature of Los Angeles offered a warm climate Many people with hidden life tried to create a new journey. Hard to re-create life in hell.
Coyote like to watch their eyes. He decided to stop and watch the people of the night. He ordered a coffee and sit across from a busy street corner. Two girls stood together. He saw their fear and the need of two people just holding on. Too many rules and no freedom. He watched as a large white man walks up to them. He is well dressed with a sadistic smile. With anger in his eyes. The man walked away. Coyote walked up to the girls. Her blue eyes did not trust the stranger.
"We are working. " He took them two blocks away. To a small 24 hour cafe.
Told the girls to order anything they desire. He sat in silence and watched them study the menu. He asked them what were their names? She had sad brown eyes. Her dress allowing the eyes to see her body. The bruises of abuse could be seen. He long brown hair was clean. He could feel no hope in her spirit. He asked them how long have they been in LA? Coyote felt anger grow in his blood. Blue eyes like a clean ocean.
She asked "What do you want from us?" He asked. "Would you escape if you could? " I don't know how to escape. I don't know how to get out. Poor Peggy was my fault. She has no place to go. I brought her into this hell. Took her to my pimp. He drugs her and rape her. We are invisible now.
My pimp Tom would kill us first before allowing us to leave. "
He handed twenty new 100 dollars bill to the pimp. Coyote goes to the bathroom. The girls looked frighten. Peggy begin to cry. At the airport he bought them new clothing. He told them. "There was $5,000 in each package. Life is hard. No-one can learn the easy way. We must touch hell before learning what is worthwhile. And I need one more thing. He hugged Peggy at the airport check point. He sat with Susie. She asked him. "I'm dirty and I don't know if I'm even worth one breath of air anymore. I believe I should kill myself and make the world a better place." Coyote wrapped his arms around her. He whispered. "You must live to make the bad people lose. You are still a baby. Flesh is just flesh. What matters is what we are thinking and where you are going. You will have a hard road. You must stand your ground and never allow anyone to hurt you.?" Susie flight was called. She stood up and hugged him. Told him. "For you my kind new friend. I will try. What is your name.? Please allow me to know the person who care enough to help me." He smile and told her. "My name is John." She gave him a bear hug and ran to her gate.
As the Taxi drove into the city. He gets to the city. He walked up the steps and knock on the door. It is 9 am in the morning. Where are my girls?"
Tom invite Coyote in and asked. "How much money do you have?
