A PUERTO RICAN SONG

The Devil's Broken Heart'

that was the song

and it was the Devil singing it

and whoever heard that song

would never be the same

and in every heart

of those men and women who heard

The Devil's Broken Heart'

the weakness weakened

and the Christ of Love strengthened

and people went to bed that night

holding on to each other

like everything else was death

I listened to it

with Armand and Oscar Dorente

and Kathy Hanking

and a lot of other people

I've never seen again
