After the Storm

A June downpour empties the square, fills Dona Dalva's stall, and takes the power with it. Say look at the sky the world's going to fall, run to Dona Dalva's stall, Sao Joao rain is a blessing, where are the girls, under the table eating cocada, my car is on the street below, it's a boat by now, after the storm comes the calm, the power's gone, and the lights are gone the party isn't.
