The tribe (poem)

The skulls were put to dry

with the corn.

The night brought new screams.

They chewed what they could.

They removed the last vestiges

of flesh and memory.

Some dozed

or stoked the fire.

I was just a transparency,

among them.

Witness of atrocious things,

common to all,

in the middle of nowhere.

Death was their shelter,

among paintings,

rivers of Cadmium,

human flesh,

condiments,
fruits

and the inevitable luck

of living.

Los cráneos fueron puestos a secar

con el maíz.

La noche trajo nuevos gritos.

Masticaban lo que podían.

Retiraban los últimos vestigios,

de carne y de memoria.

Algunos dormitaban

o atizaban el fuego.

Yo solo era una trasparencia,

entre ellos.

Testigo de cosas atroces,

comunes para todos,

en medio de la nada.

La muerte era su abrigo,

entre pinturas,

ríos de Cadmio,

la carne humana,

condimentos,
frutas

y la inevitable suerte

de vivir.

What's the lucky part
Being surrounded by skull
drying in the sun
surrounded by corn?

I wonder..
What is it they chew at
The firewood
Some bones
Rotten flesh or
potatoes roasted in the fire?

Dozing off doesn't feel very healthy.

Fresh-cut potatoes, I hope. Mayonnaise (if it existed, I mentally reconstruct it, like a huge Lego puzzle) could be an alternative to butter. Skulls smeared with mayonnaise sauce. Hours on the fire. The synchronized eyes of one of these cannibal tribes. We wouldn't last a second before they ran us through boiling water.
PS: As a kid I remember a lego type puzzle, bought for me, I still remember it, so the experience was magical. I think I saw something similar on Amazon of 1000+ pieces, you could build an asphalt jungle. Siege cities, set a world on fire, between colors, blocks and imagination.

Lego puzzles? Man are they ugly! Does the boy want one for his birthday?
I like this one more

I didn't see an asphalt jungle Lego puzzle

Where exactly did the diary stop? Shouldn't we finish that story? We are out of potatoes, out of pelicans, one bottle left and the wall is painted white. The guy in the basement ended up in the soup and Mother Holle showed up somewhere while Dylan pretended he jumped of the rock but only painted it after het had inspiracion again (killing that bloke and hang the woman). What did I miss? Is there one girl or are there two or more?

Manonnaise... I never really liked it, only ate it after I've been ill. So the canibal tribes lick the mayonaisse of the skulls and live happily ever after.
