  4. "La puerta"

    Un grupo de niños se reta frente a una puerta vieja…
    Leyendas urbanas, cucarachas, una mirilla que se mueve y algo mucho peor esperando al otro lado.

  16. Un dedo, un núcleo y una araña que no debió volver.
    Mushika y Kusa se destrozan entre flores venenosas e ilusiones.
    Soka, atrapado, toma la única decisión posible.
    El cielo se tiñe de púrpura. La invasión empieza.

  18. RABBIT. A Welch rabbit; bread and cheese toasted, i.e. a Welch rare bit. Rabbits were also a sort of wooden canns to drink out of, now out of use.

    A selection from Francis Grose’s “Dictionary Of The Vulgar Tongue” (1785)

    last night
    i wanted uncle guido to come again
    alive dark bearded dark eyed
    as he must have come to father's dying

    at suppertime
    to step into mother's dining room
    skull capped black cassocked
    with a crimson sash and scarlet piping

    mother
    i wanted her again alive
    to remain seated at the dinner table
    young and beautiful widowed

    she welcomed
    her brother like he'd become
    that daily hour comfortable that came
    before midday in the summer

    and in winter
    it was after midday that she opened
    the windows to allow
    a change of air into the palace

    i wanted uncle to drop
    on the table the coins in the purse
    the rents and the dues
    taxes collected on mother's behalf

    to say he'd found
    a drip from a gutter a few broken bricks
    to promise he'd hire
    someone to clean and repair a chimney

    i wanted to be asked
    what we children had learned
    from the tutor today latin or logic
    philosophy or fencing to play a lute

    i wanted to learn again
    how to call him padre

  23. The gesture of throwing away
    is the first...condition of being,
    since one is what one does not throw away.
