taking a stroll throught the mine field with my parasol
Ke-ta-mine
A general anesthetic given intravenously or intramuscularly and used especially for minor surgical procedures in which muscle relaxation is not required.
recreationally Ketamine belongs to a class of drugs called "dissociative anaesthetics," which separate perception from sensation. Other drugs in this category include PCP, DXM and nitrous oxide (laughing gas)
la Casa Raygada
butchered by the simpletons
painted up like an invitation to dissuasion
up close you outline the sadness of what could be
the muffled iron work
the empty layers of paint that smother history
the cement where flowers were once showered
where are the wicker table and chairs
the pisco sours and cuba libres
the continental breakfast on the wings of the terrace
the oscillating prisms of stained glass
and polished mahogany
strip the whores makeup off the face of this trampled gem
let the glass breathe
let light hit all the dimensions
refine the confinements
meanwhile
daggers in the arroyo
assassins
or strangers
lurk on the balcony
los paranoias
because I wouldnt let you take advantage of my disabilities
with your native tongue
and the hue of my skin
forced to display the traits
that precede me
and the nature of my flag
no time to differentiate
whether their shoes seem polished
or overworked
whether the cork on their wine is unzipped
or capped with an inviting finger puppet
there is only instinct and history
to overwhelm the floodgates
of my imagineering
on this veranda
overlooking crumbled sea vessels
and vultures, among the rubble
the sun falls
lividity drains from the sky and sand
into the funnel of the gloaming
the tension surrounding the handle
of my blade
grows
like the darkness
