Raindogs

by Juan Felipe Herrera

Juan Felipe Herrera

dancing in spite of lost fathers stolen mothers & bitten lands
in cerulean torrents Indian stones clownish leaps & demolished
howls
against armies against the wind itself the shredded graves
eyes gone dumb the garden in flames the divine sestinas formless
they were scribbling things down one opposite here one opposite
there
in shrunken cafés Tibetan scarves & prayer beads
dancing in spite of lost fathers stolen mothers & bitten lands
