Evangelical Spanish

Before dawn,
the room’s flooded
with evangelical Spanish
from the radio.

No music.  Pure preaching.
The only words I catch
in his rapid flow are
“contigo” and “alleluia.”

Rise, fall,
whitewater ecstasies
and imprecations
soak the morning

in splashes from
a torrent
rinsing away
my unholy dreams.
