I think about the day you left

Screams of Satanic laughter in my soul

Virgen de Guadalupe
scrape her roses from the floor
The lighted path shimmers
in the mountains
as we walk like goats
surefooted and into high

peacocked into cries for 
water, light and love
Challe...

when light of your love you let show.
