Night of Long Shadows
by Luis Cuauhtemoc Berriozabal
The sky wept like a baby
The earth swelled up.
The moon stood witness.
The wet street glistened.

Crossing the road a grotesque
Man played chicken
With the beasts on wheels
In the rain soaked street.

The cold, wet flowers and trees
Offered their gift,
A fragrance only
The rain could awaken,
To this night of
Long shadows.
