Weather remind me

 I forgot who I once was
calling down from the cliff
my voice lost somewhere near the bottom
Where drafts shift and circle back
Compund ghosts of the past fight amongst themselves for direction

I paced back and forth upon the summit
Moon says hide
daylight sun says confront
Wind taunts with tone of dead empires
Invisible fingers on my shoulder

I look down to where the ocean hits the rock below
Slurping and spitting a slow sense of the sea at feast
The mist of it rises and freshens me
Every voice of the climate
calling me to stand and remember 

Beach cabin hardly walk

 The two cabins on the beach front sat passive resigned
Waiting for retired couples to fill them
Their whispers and murmurs almost audible
over the crashing waves

They sit like tired toddlers
Slowly nodding to each other
beige faces window eyes unwinkable
Squatting there near the sand

As if freshly placed within the play pen
But the two children are still
Rubbing eyes and waking
Unworried and unaware of the world

Awaiting human hosts to give them real souls
To routine them into magical existence
walls bulge slightly outward
healthy mother's milk 

An old couple is taken for the tour
they go through each room
and feel slightly more glum
They walk out wondering why anyone would live in either

When you forgot your vanity

 The mirror looks out
Theres nothing in the room
No human, not even a spirit
Would be good just to see a pair of eyes but no

The presence invades the empty house
vain voids and fresh pain
hanging cords but no chandelier
the sense of birth death and a short infancy lost to the backrooms of another universe

The mirror coughs
a stream of water bursts from the glass
It screams in a distraught english accent -are you having a laugh
A tooth came flying out blood tipped

The clean clothes on the bed tongued the sheets
The floor burped 
footsteps came up the stairs toward the bedroom
A person entered avoiding the stale entity in the mirror

Floating table and food hell

 Ten meters above the party I was standing on floating table
Every side featured a person who was eating from a big bowl
Some for of chip and some form of dip
the only sense of it all was pure gluttony

I tried to steady myself on the floating table
It went up and down, I almost fell off
Things were so precarious
But I was the newcomer

The rest of the people here had been here for centuries
Feeding on their big bowl of overflavored favorite snack
The table was so unstable I was sure to fall
Forced to move with it's ups and downs

Asked to feed with the fixed souls
As they kept eating and invited others to eat
I craved some sort of balance there was none
I craved some sort of medicine

Only present in my sense of equilibrium


The railway checkpoint

 In the gully there was a checkpoint on the traintrack
Where the local trains ran through
I approached and was stopped by a guard
He inquired as to what i was doing

Before I could answer a crowd of people had formed
They were pushing from behind
The guard separated the crowd with a boomgate
I got stuck on the side on the tracks

I imagine a train arriving
Getting flattened with the three or four fomopeople
The guard hauled out an empty wagon platform
We stood on it and it carried us off to nowhere

The evening saw my face

 Partially disguised running on the platform
People in their thirties walked in pairs and trios
Some drunk and some stoned
The evening who inhaled the early evening breeze
Came walking and crossed my path like a black cat

This night no trains were coming in
Big bulb lamp light was just starting to glow
She saw my face under the scarf
I was trying to hide you see
The world doesn't need to see me

The night forced me into an embrace and said my name
But I didn't know who she was
I wasn't inebriated so searched my memory
But the only memory I had was the current one being created

The villian Señor Adriel Júpiter Cat chef

 His name was Jupiter he was from southern Argentina.
The cold edges near the bottom of the continent.
He was a villain.

He kidnapped some local pets, cats and dogs and even some birds.
Prior to this, He had spent three months building a giant blender in his back yard.
He shaved pets and plucked the feathers pet birds. 
The afternoone in question late spring almost november, he put the pets inside the blender.
Then he turned it on.
He was expecting to hear the animals screech as they were chunked inside the machine.
But it was so fast Mr Jupiter started crying. He had kicked himself for sharpening the blades inside the shredder too much.

To make matters worse the spinning blades hadn't liquified the animals.
The bones had become lodged in the small gaps within the gyrating center.
 The think shut down.
There was nothing left living inside. But it was all so roughly cut it was minutes before the sun caught on and sent a rotting smell through the neighborhood.

He grabbed buckets and started shoveling the chunky mess in and taking it down to his basement. There he had an older man in his late fifties on a maneuvrable crucifix.
In his panic he turned the crucifix to the sleeping position so the old man would stop moaning.
He tipped the contents out into a big container.
Then ran upstairs and came rushing down again with buckets full.
Emptying them again. 
After twelve trips he sat inside the basement staring at the vat.

He took out some of the slop put it in a bowl and mixed with flour. took it upstairs to his kitchen and made some patties.
He brought several patties back down and fed himself and the older man on the crucifix.
¿Me vas a dejar ir de acá alguna vez, o simplemente me vas a matar? ¿Cómo puede darte satisfacción mi dolor? Ya ni siento el cuerpo.

Cerrá la boca, pedazo de gil. Comé y agradecé el descanso. Si pensabas que este era el final de tu sufrimiento, entonces ya me diste más que suficiente satisfacción. Es como azúcar en la lengua y merca en la vena. Qué bicho soso que sos. Recostate y listo, que total yo me voy de acá en un toque. Tengo una licuadora que arreglar.

Before Adriel made his way back upstairs he glaced back at the gloop.
A single eye perhaps a cat's one, that was positioned in a way that made it look like it was staring.
Adriel stood hypnotized as they eye somehow managed to blink then open even wider.
Adriel flipped the crucifix back up putting the old man in terrible pain.
He showed his middle finger and said

Ah, el Diablo. El Diablo está envidioso otra vez. Pero esto no es una competencia. Andá y hacé la tuya. No vengas acá a sacar ideas.
