Surreal Rain

Gabriel Pacheco (1973- )

Mexico

in the rain lit hours

any blue

any drop of blood red

seem out of place

sabotaging

the delicious melancholy

of coming home to

the witching midnight

and cold sheets

in the grey 

of rain lit hours

a lone blue harlequin

could be some errant soul

waiting for 

bloodless wings

pretty wild flowers
and tall grasses
and friendly feathers

must the moment come
when I must leave
for civilised routines

where flowers are cultivated
and grasses are mown
and feathers preen

must the moment come
when I must pretend
to like
the masked ball
