a vicious animal is one that drills holes
to make a silencer, silence is not silent
lot
[also unproven their existence]
alarm the rapid decompression of the bullet
in the soul of the gun, the barrel, ready to evacuate
a soul in eleven seconds:
one, two, three
[eleven]
a relentless animal is one that mixes
nitric acid with sulfuric acid,
[no such tranquility in the act ...]
added glycerin and that's enough, already has an explosive
willing to work
the history books do not contain such instructions, the animal
, inflexible, has learned only ,
how he learned to get the match:
[white powder, very white]
some parts of urea and a dose of salt
meanwhile, fielded
gray worms crawling thirst for revenge,
between Thus, in basements lost
jaws carved in stone
shout, mutter, pray, without warning
just the nauseating smell of the wet chemistry
long dormant senses
[in formalin compassion, mercy, mercy]
the animal meets inclement small tasks that has been prepared,
doing time walking through the subway, the bustling city
not for him
no fixed rules,
men, women, children,
dog urinated or gardens,
everything seems like a gun embedded in the mouth of the enemy
,
[all have the face of death by crawling roofs]
the rigorous animal fifty stories up to the roof
[no such peace at that height ...]
press the keys and calculates how short burst train travel, travel
very short, so short
sometimes as perishable
almost fleeting crass shortcut
where chance is hate
[hatred sometimes takes chance ahead ]
looks down, sees how
erupt between the paraffin crystals, iron
alive, burning, vulnerable, precious metals now
cold in the morning, while I
meantime
flight [unpunished] by air filled with nerve gas,
not understand anything, just die
(Carmen Velasco, March 2011)
