                                                       ­                         my
                                     ­ brain
                       doesn’t
                                                       ­     work

right
                                                ­                               and

                             my

                                              thoughts

     ­                                         scatter

               ­                                                    like
                               beads

                                     spilled

En el asilo de las almas trastornadas
Espera el Dr. de piel fría y azulada
Hijo de cíclope y algún demonio de mar
Sabe que piensas y te encontrara
Lleva consigo un cabeza reducida
Por si su ojo no es capaz
La cabeza diminuta gritara
Si tu alma esta atormentada
el lo sabra
Dice que es doctor
Pero yo creo que es carnicero
Carnivoro, como ave rapaz
Le falta cuerda
Le fala almorzar
Yo preferiría morir
Antes que volverlo a soñar.
Monstruos #I
Garry Nov 2017
From the cold, dank room; musty smells emanate,
The cold eye freezes and turns over in the frost,
Catch a star, falling far, falling free,
Shining for everyone; not just me
Trying to make sense of this entropy disorder,
Wet cat nose leather finds protection
from drying up in the hot weather,
A life? Maybe. Omniscient? No.
Turn away and find the inspiration
amongst the perspiration –
insurance against the inevitable alienation
Celebrate with the nation. All of them?  
Two colours, eye-gas, brain-grass, not in that shirt, Scott!
The crepuscular gloaming gives way,
Orange light now dominates the night,
keeping away the hurt and fright.
Drifting now, lost but not lonely. If only.
Size up the coffin and make marks
on the wall to measure how tall
Tear it down, sweep up the pieces and throw them away.
All will be revealed, my friend.
Perhaps.
One day.
