\n 
\nAfter the rains
\ncome the drain of a white washed
\nroad–sepulchers
\nof pungent oozing paths.
\nCossy skins blended
\nin tar pigmented melanin,
\nmock the innerbeing,
\ntelling her she is wet,
\ntelling her she is clean.
\nOnly fire tests the truth of things.
\nSoon the road evapourates
\nthe reminants of her hidden self,
\nand the skin
\nwhispers the truth
\nof its self- dark,dirty,blue-
\n-in avarice for the subtle touch of water,
\nto purly through the body through
\nto the spirit.
\nAfter the rains come the real water.
\nSpinning the soul in spree.<\/strong>
