La caja de habanos

La caja de habanos tiene grabado en la tapa el rostro de una mujer risueña, rodeada de flores. En su interior dos habanos y medio descansan en el fondo, desordenados presumiblemente por el movimiento de la caja. Esta habría contenido doce de ellos, seis sobre seis, dispuestos horizontalmente entre las dos delgadas placas de madera que componen su fondo y su tapa.
El medio habano ha dejado, tras girar sobre sí mismo, una delgadísima aureola de ceniza en forma de arco. Mojada su punta encendida en agua (o quizás whisky) para su consumo posterior, parece haber tardado más de los esperado en secarse, y ante la prisa del consumidor, que optaría por un cigarrillo, ha sido devuelto bruscamente a la caja.

Rave

To Dylan Thomas, the bluffer.   Go drunk into that dark night. Rave, rave with your self’s shadow, dance. Dance to electric, acid drums. Go drunk into that dark night alight by fluorescent wristbands. Rave against living, against dawn.   Lay bare, under a dark sky, what we all are. Go to the bathroom stalls, past the raving crowd, break in line and start a fist fight. Get drunk and  scarred, animal. Smile, neon bloodied, at oblivion. Rave against all lights unflickering, against all unbroken bones, against those who dance and those who don’t: be an asshole. And dance, dance electric seraph, dance, dance to acid drums.

Where dumb-dumb  Ozymandiases  rust. Where mythologies go to die like an, oh so secretive, fart. Far away enough of people so they can pass quietly and unheard.   My reign is also of venom: purulent, vicious. Highly alcoholic melancholy, not of lethargic rest but instead breeder of anxious sleep, of bad poetry during late hours best served for onanistic endeavors.   ¡Behold the Scorpion King!   ¡Behold my drunkenness, ye mighty, and compare: the width of your temples to the size of my ding-dong!   Only one of them remains.
