after pouring its eyes out the sky flashes a smile faint colours on a soft curve
I breathe in the fresh still air and wonder can a rainbow be black? can it be poor? can it resemble the curl of my lips after meeting hers in a dark room? would it know my language? does it recognise my grief?
the rainbow flashes and the music stops my heart stops the night’s watchful eyes turn red with rage it gathers us all, from our lovers embraces, from our loneliness, from our joy and despair, from our dark rooms, from the streets, from our silence it gathers us all and throws us into a pit of fire Sara slips towards the sky and we stay in the fire we stay in the struggle we stay together crying, singing, dancing, chanting for rain
