SUNDAY
.
Fruit seller church
seated at the corner of life:
crystal orange windows,
the sugar cane organ.
.
Angels: little chicks
of Mother Mary.
.
The blue-eyed bell
wanders off on bare feet
throughout the countryside
.
Sun clock:
angelic burro with its innocent sex;
wind, in Sunday best,
bringing news from the mountains.
.
Indian woman with loads of vegetables
embracing foreheads.
.
The sky rolls up its eyes
when it sees the church bell
run barefoot from the church.
