The coco's haunt me
In my sleepless nights,
When my pillow gets
Cold, I shiver.

Splinter's
In the dark grow
Piercing to eye's
That quiver.

Sometimes I worry of the
Sunset.

Of the pesantas
In all forms
They come,
Grab
Rip.

Devotion to the
Light, keeps me
Rooted, the darkness
Always goes,
When Dios
I call to,
When the air reek's
As mold.
The Coco (or Cuco, Coca, Cuca, Cucuy) is a mythical ghost-monster, equivalent to the bogeyman, found in many Hispanic and Lusophone countries. He can also be considered a Hispanic version of a bugbear,[1] as it is a commonly used figure of speech representing an irrational or exaggerated fear. The Coco is a male being while Coca is the female version of the mythical monster, although it is not possible to distinguish one from the other as both are the representation of the same being.Pesanta
In Catalan legend and popular culture, the Pesanta (Catalan pronunciation: [pΙ™ΛˆzantΙ™], Western Catalan: [peˈzanta]) is an enormous dog (or sometimes a cat) that goes into people's houses in the night and puts itself on their chests making it difficult for them to breathe and causing them the most horrible nightmares. The Pesanta is black and hairy, with steel paws, but with holes so it can't take anything- wanted to throw out what I wrote about is all, gracias
