outlaw bonfires and dillinger’s blood

todd moore | outlaw bonfires and dillinger’s blood

lucio urtubia | voler, c’est un honneur.

There are plenty of anarchists in the world. Many have committed robbery or smuggling for their cause. Fewer have discussed strategies with Che Guevara or saved the skin of Eldridge Cleaver, the leader of the Black Panthers. There is only one who has done all that, and also brought to its knees the most powerful bank on the planet by forging travellers cheques, without missing a single day of work in his construction job. He is Lucio Urtubia, from a tiny village in Navarra in North of Spain.

It was with awe
That I beheld
Fresh leaves, green leaves,
Bright in the sun.

speechless before
these budding green spring leaves
in blazing sunlight
