Los gallitos
They wear the motley coat of jesters: like fools they tell the truth.
Of a feather, the birds do fight together they hold on to your finger like a terrified fiancé.
El palenque in Ixmiquilpan sees them clash green and red under the belt:
Men and women, make your bets, a way of life as bloodsport in a star-crossed box drawn with lime.
They wear the motley coat of jesters: what luck will they reveal?
