[Chat]tel and Land

EddyEddy Gengar the BittersweetRegistered User regular
edited February 2011 in Debate and/or Discourse
I am in Valencia, a town I suspect may never
converse with the snow,
my father fled here perhaps
for the warmth not found at home;
A slab of land, a small man that cited
‘irreconcilable differences’
as it tore itself apart.

And I drive through this old kingdom
to find a man I once knew,
someone my mother claimed
had taught me broken English,
and given me this broken nose.

I came to claim his effects.
Wolves raised me, not him,
my creation myth taking shape
in dreams torn by canine teeth;
but I am not afraid of the truth.

The air itself feels as if it were bottled,
stored just in case the Moors won
reminding me that I was once young,
and dreamed of beautiful things.
But it’s getting thinner.

I wonder why I seek his bones,
Perhaps to compare tibia length,
to gnaw back at the thoughts
that have gnawed on me.
Perhaps I’ll lie down next to them
and pretend I was complete.

I see the Spanish iron-wrought gate
that chides the world of the living:
‘how lucky you are, how sad.’
I see the pebbles push by like congregations
and the sand they will one day become.

And peering in I can see the tombs
that radiate a certain disaffection
yet give hope in the most morbid way.
The gate is locked so I hop the fence,
landing between 1899-1965 and 1977-1978.

I look for his last, final name as the sun sets;
nothing dies on time.

Fog emerges to celebrate nighttime:
darkness is not a certainty, this close to God.
And somewhere lost in those exhaling clouds
is the last breath of my father
and I hate them for it.

The shadows of wolves are my carry-ons
as I slumber over the Atlantic.

Perhaps my father is not dead,
but instead eating paella with God
and all of God’s friends
in His supper-room in Spain,
and I am conveniently forgotten.

    will I don't know how else to tell you this but you realize poop is not the norm in anal sex

    sort of how gallons of menstrual blood doesn't often pop up in vaginal sex

    poop in anal sex is the result of poor planning and hasty actions, and can be prevented by a small amount of common sense and preparation

    I went through 4 years of committed relationship worth of butt banging and only encountered poop twice, and both were a direct result of foolishly throwing caution to the wind

    You might not encounter poop if you are freshly evacuated but no doubt there is a fecal sheen. A glistening film of your abomination in the eyes of the lord. A heady mix of astroglide and buttmud.

    I'm sorry, I'm having too much fun with this. I'm sure it's relatively sanitary. Render unto The Butt the things which are The Butt's and all that.
