Livestock and the shrine

 The camp was badly set up

Iceboxes froze the tents

criminals infiltrated

famine for adventure


The lake nearby would expand and contract

season after season

the camp was a stone´s throw

a margin´s rough scrub grow


Local farmers lost their cattle

which were grazing along the sides 

ankles in the water

scanning for a new blade

of grass

to slit their throat with


The exhibit of the artist

had become a strange magnetic shrine

carved into the rock of an empty well

where neither time nor gravity seemed to obey

and the words and shapes confused generations, stigmas and preconceived norms


Like the lake it seemed to have little tides

breaking people´s honed ability to compare

throwing them out of their queues

extracting their putrid fomo


And immunizing them against popular declines
