woke this morning with a spadein my heart Watching people lying dying in the streets Roads blue and lights electric yellow at the KFC Burgers everywhere straw on the floor My mother looking in the mirrorsaw nothing inside Fear taking people in the overcrowded graveyard Far away a bunch of sirens yelling to the deep air A man stabbed in the back littercovering the path Bullets flying around me unknowing where they ricochet The walls of crumbling houses made of blood red stones Beetles crawling on ceilingscrocodiles swimming in gutters I wonder why the burglars don’t respond to my questions
