[In putting together a transnational &
historical anthology of the Americas north & south (now in progress), Javier
Taboada and I are looking also at founders & representatives of new or
revived American-based religions, who speak and write in forms of prophetic
& visionary language that resembles what we otherwise would think of as open-verse
poetry. In the present instance the outsider poets on display are Joanna
Kitchel, a follower of Mother Anne Lee & the Society of Believers in Christ’s
Second Coming (a.k.a. Shakers); El Niño Fidencio [Fidencio Constantino Síntora], a mid-twentieth century healer
& cult figure from Mexico; & Essie Parrish, co-founder of the Pomo
Indian “dreamer religion” of California
The images above are of Fidencio and Parrish. (J.R.)]

Song
of the East [1844]
Behold a plant springeth up in the east
which shall heal
many nations; this plant saith Wisdom
was by my own
hand planted.
And a lamp goeth out of the wilderness
which shall kindle
a great burning.
France is my lamp, and England my plant,
saith the Lord;
Spain is my defence, and Ireland my
strength,
Germany my word, and Italy my sword.
I will make war with the nations of the
earth,
I will scatter them in my fury and divide
them in the four
winds;
and I will build me a house, a high house;
no man can tell how I shall frame my house;
but I will bring my timbers from afar a strange land
and many people shall flow into it.
And my household shall be in ev’ry land;
and they shall subdue all nations.
Then my name shall be glorified by Priestsd
and Kings
and all the earth shall tremble before,
for I alone will be exalted in that day saith God,
and here my word doth end.
Now arise and prepare the way for my
people,
O daughter of the East that when I come
again,
I may visit thee in mercy.
El Niño Fidencio [Fidencio Constantino Síntora]
from SACRED SCRIPTURES:
“March 12, 1935”
(translation in progress)
1
In the name of the Father, of the Son, and of the
Holy Ghost, Amen
2
In this date, through the Divine Providence of the
Eternal Father, the Reviewer of the phone lines of the Divine Science, by the
Grace of the Lord, reports:
3
That between twelve and one a.m. he realized he
reached space number three.
4
There he --The Reviewer— had the joy of seeing
Moses’ Tablets.
5
The Lord granted it because of his great and
growing faith,
6
When he got to know his true God in Spirit and felt
it in his heart. He also attired himself with Light and Divine Grace.
7
This is what the hearts that love their eternal
and true God reach.
8
Without knowing it, the Reviewer keeps reporting
to the Holy Ghost’s disciples,
9
That on the same date Holy Days were approaching:
passion and death of our Lord Jesus Christ.
10
The Reviewer reported that the Jews were pursuing
11
Our Father Jesus of Nazareth through valleys and a
mount of thorns and thickets.
12
The Reviewer keeps reporting the same picture:
that they were pursuing our Father Jesus of Nazareth
13
To sacrifice him on the days he gave them
knowledge.
14
I connected myself with the heart of The Reviewer
and I placed myself in the middle of a palmetto.
15
And it covered my Most Holy Body.
16
And when they passed by, they didn’t see me.
17
We kept moving towards the East, connected with
the heart of the Reviewer.
18
And I did this to teach my children the sufferings
of this Holy Way.
19
My Reviewer had a coin in his pocket.
20
And I threw it onwards at the same direction, the
East,
21
Since the Jews were almost reaching us.
22
Then God, with his might on that coin, molded a
huge pond.
23
And the Jews stood there.
24
And they were shocked to see that huge pond.
25
We kept moving and after a short walk, a voice was
heard.
26
The Reviewer heard: “Now we are reaching them”.
27
Then I pulled a hair out of my headdress and threw
it onwards and a mountain was molded,
28
Too dense so the Jews could not pass through, nor
us.
29
We kept moving in the same direction.
30
After a walk, at some point, the Reviewer heard:
31
“Now we are reaching them”.
32
Then I put my Blessed Hands on my chest,
33
And I opened my arms, embodying a Guardian Angel.
34
And I upraised my thoughts to God asking him to
favor me in that moment.
35
When I opened my arms, a colossal mountain range
of vast boulders was molded.
36
As we kept moving towards East, The Reviewer kept
reporting us:
37
That if the Jews wanted to reach us again,
38
The twelve Apostles of the Lord were already
walking with us.
39
Someway they reached to a jungle and The Reviewer
saw the password I made for him.
40
The password was: tell the ones that belong to me,
41
That, in order to be saved, they should stay
beneath the shadow of that tree.
42
The Creator of Heavens and Earth and his son were
with him.
43
The Reviewer reports that, when they were walking
towards East,
44
None of the apostles raised their eyes.
45
Not everyone walked meekly and some of their
hearts had slackened.
46
Divine Testimony and Spiritual Knowledge by the
Author of Peace, Fidencio S. Constantino,
47
In the same date the Reviewer was authorized to
release these data to the Soldiers of Cristo Rey,

It is a test you have to pass.
Then you can learn to heal
with the finger, said Essie
pointing over our heads:
I went thru every test on the way,
that's how come I'm a shaman.
Be careful on the journey, they said,
the journey to heaven. They warned me.
And so I went.
Thru the rolling hills
I walked and walked,
mountains and valleys, and rolling hills,
I walked and walked and walked –
you hear many things there
in those rolling hills and valleys,
and I walked and walked and walked
and walked and walked until
I came to a footbridge,
and on the right side were a whole lot of people
and they were naked and crying out,
how'd you get over there,
we want to get over there too
but we're stuck here,
please come over here and help us cross,
the water's too deep for us –
I didn't pay no attention,
I just walked and walked and walked,
and then I heard an animal, sounded like a huge dog,
and there was a huge dog and next to him a huge lady
wearing blue clothes,
and I decided I had to walk right thru –
I did
and the dog only snarled at me.
Never go back.
I walked and walked and walked
and I came to one only tree
and I walked over to it and looked up at it
and read the message:
Go on, you're half way.
From there I felt better, a little better.
And I walked and walked and walked and walked
and I saw water, huge water
how to get thru?
I fear it's deep. Very blue water.
But I have to go.
Put out the first foot, then the left,
never use the left hand,
and I passed thru.
Went on and on and on, and I had to enter a place
and there I had to look down:
it was hot and there were people there
and they looked tiny down there in that furnace
running around crying.
I had to enter.
You see, these tests are to teach my people
how to live.
Fire didn't burn me.
And I walked and walked and walked.
On the way you're going to suffer.
And I came to a four-way road
like a cross. Which is the right way?
I already knew.
East is the right way to
go to heaven.
North, South, and West are dangerous.
And at this crossroad there was a place in the center.
North you could see beautiful things of the Earth,
hills and fields and flowers and everything beautiful
and I felt like grabbing it
but I turned away.
West was nothing but fog and damp
and I turned away.
South was dark, but there were sounds,
monsters and huge animals. And I turned away and
Eastward I walked and walked and walked
and there were flowers, on both sides of the road,
flowers and flowers and flowers
out of this world.
And there is white light, at the center,
while you are walking.
This is the complicated thing:
my mind changes.
We are the people on the Earth.
We know sorrow and knowledge and faith and talent
and everything.
Now as I was walking there
some places I feel like crying
and some places I feel like talking
and some places I feel like dancing
but I am leaving these behind for the next world.
Then when I entered into that place
I knew:
if you enter heaven
you might have to work.
This is what I saw in my vision.
I don't have to go nowhere to see.
Visions are everywhere.
