Art and poem by Andres de Refugio Sarabia
Instagram: @werebothbatman Chiko Sapo like rain, the rain of human kindness—overflowing. The rain that washes my salty angry furious delirious, and deeply curious of the deaths I die every day. And the rain comes day in and day out, overflowing with kindness, again— yet remembering the violence, again. White boys screaming those fuckin' Mexicans again but this time, a twisted smile comes over me. That’s right, remembering the scriptures I've chased looking for answers, the truth, the truth, even the ones I’ve erased. Chillón Chillón, I’ll give you something to cry about! I turn the radio on, hoping to hear the good news that human kindness is overflowing. Nothing, nothing today. I hear my brothers are dying today. The news of violence again. I’m crying for rain today. Chillón Chillón, I’ll give you something to cry about! Mothers are holding their children, not for nursing, not for healing, not for comfort, but to bury them again in the dry, dusty earth. I wish it would rain today. I wish I could pray today. Chillón Chillón, I’ll give you something to cry about + Andres de Refugio Sarabia: Artist | Storyteller | Chillón. Keeps me searching for those hearts of gold, as i’m getting bolder every day. Texas born, California raised, woke to Tennessee. @werebothbatman
