Había un artículo / There was an article

Había un artículo por el
periódico de hoy— y contó
la historia de un bautismo
en las calles de Washington, D.C.
la gente cantó, lloró, levantó
sus manos al Espíritu Santo;
el agua era como los ríos.
¡Se siente bien! ¡Oh mi Dios!
de su empapado traje blanco,
la voz de Geraldine Howard gritó
con un casquillo de la ducha y
un visera blindando su pelo—
¡Me bendice! ¡El Dios es bueno!
una manguera y su fe en él.

roughly:

There was an article in
today's newspaper— and it told
the story of a baptism
in the streets of Washington, DC—
the people sang, wept, raised
their hands to the Holy Spirit;
the water was like rivers.
It feels good! Oh my God!
from her soaked white suit,
the voice of Geraldine Howard shouted
with a shower cap and
a visor armoring her hair—
I am blessed! God is good!
a hose and her faith in him.
