Hoof dream
The buzz in the pavement´s memory
it rumbles, reproves and exclaims
a handful of hoof steps
his sentence rolls
and far away is the day
in which the wind disarranged
the freedom in your mane
hooves bleed
they step on your soul and spirit
falter the light
he tumbles...just a snort
and as if he had never existed
he dreams
dying not on the pavement
but graze
Why?
Johnny and Angie are sleeping. I watched them undress, his fingers eager to touch her skin again. She smelled him in the neck and said "I love you" Johnny answered " Oh, baby" while he came down on her like an arrow. I saw their fingers tangle, sweat shine on their bodies.
And now they sleep. Slowly I come forward from the shadows, pass my hand through his blonde hair, put my other hand on her heart shaped mouth. They feel me. She shivers. I am the air they breathe, I get into her like lukewarm water...he turns around. The lips I used to crave. Kissing Johnny is like walking in a place darker than a moonless night, a place soundless but of his fast heartbeat. I hear Angie babble in her sleep as she sees me in her mind. He is trapped in a restless nightmare, a sequence of images of me.
Listen Angie, "little angel" as Johnny called you, listen to my soothing voice. I´m here to take you with me to a better place, not that I really know much about... anyway, slow down the beat. He looks at me and frowns. "Why?" she says. Oh, I have many, many reasons I tell her, but don´t worry, where you are going is better than him, believe me. He is looking at me like... is it fear? You know Angie, my last word when Johnny was killing me was "Why?" but he calls you "little angel" and I get it.
Johnny´s will is now my wish, her fragile neck within his hands is my delight. She moves her arms like she´s swimming in the ocean.
A weak swirl of light enters the room as I´m watching Johnny wake up and lean over her still body for a morning kiss... Why? he screams and cries sincerely. Now you understand my question Johnny.
The wanderer
From within my plague is rage
I hate you
in my gut nailed like a fish bone
I abhor you
My blood runs dreary and rash
I despite you
From within my core is chaos and you are here
I listen
The morning ray warms the water in the glass
I breathe
In my soul the wanderer turns
I sleep
From within an unknown bird sings
I´m out
The patient
I fed it a rat every night. I would leave it in a box under my bed and the next day there were bones. Now it doesn´t want to eat anymore, instead, it wants to lick my feet when
I´m in bed. It pains me for the tongue is coarse and stings... it leaves wounds like slashes. But I let it, you see, I don´t want to make it angry and I´m afraid it will ask me to call someone else again. The last time I did, Mom was the choice. I was very upset about that. Mom had seen my feet but they healed so fast that no doctor would believe her. In the mornings it wispered to me, told me things about people I know, about my family. They said at the hospital that the voices would get better with the pills. They were wrong. Now it´s demanding that the house be burned, that I make a fire with matches and fuel and Mom´s books. It promises that in the light I will see it´s face, and hers too. Oh, I really want to see Mom... so I will. Why did she insist on taking me to another doctor? That forced me to take care of her. It murmurs that I have to sit still and breathe... that the fire didn´t hurt the witches, or Joan of Arc. "Who´s that?" I ask. It just laughs while I start coughing.
Analogy of an addiction.
There once was a little girl who looked down into a well. She leaned on the stone edge and listened to the dark wind coming from bellow. A desire to touch the water spread through her skin. She did, with the tip of one finger. The next day she managed to get all her hand wet. The third day she fell in.
Ha ha ha
