I'm walking through
a place unknown to me,
just enjoying my peaceful day.
the sky blackens.
I see lightning strike on the horizon,
and then close to me.
It falls near me once again,
and I know the deal.
I can hear the drums of santeria
far in the distance.
somewhere there's a sanrteria ceremony
for some reason Chango is angry.
the first small rain drops fall on my head
as they part the mango trees.
these drops then give way
to a solid impenetrable wall of rain.
thunder fills the air.
lightning falls all around,
as if it wanted to hit me
somewhere Chango is happy
somewhere the blood of many goats and chickens,
spills itself in his name.
I walk past a church
and the drums get louder.
"Is saint barbara here?"
I asked of the priest.
"No she put on a red dress,
and left with the witch doctor."
then I knew it was true.
