Mala Noche

-
Do they dance in darkness
unseen by shadows

Do their voices ride
a silent wind

Do the cold streets
comfort their feet

Or do they have paws
instead ?

Will their wired jaws
scrunch at all hours

Will black and white
be the only colours tonight

Will all stop
and nothing spin

Until their eyes roll upwards
with a sharp metal clink

Mala Noche.
