Bloodbath


It started when I was still speaking on the microphone, congratulating people on their… graduation day?

Then the fighting began with the noise of death. It was a closed room: violence, anger, pain.

When I entered the room it was a bloodbath. I didn’t want to turn on the lights but, eventually, I did. They had removed the bodies and the blood was drying out, dark, dark red, everywhere.

She refused to help, she was in a rush and partially blind. I said: «Go ahead, don’t waste your time. I can take care».

And now I keep seeing el barandal. Tengo que aferrarme a él.

Carmesí


—Carmesí sobre la nieve.
—Still?
—Still.

—What happened?
—He fell asleep;
I kept looking
at the window.

»I just sneaked out
and came home.

»In the streets
I saw the frost,
fearing it would be Kais,
thinking there would be blood
over the snow.

—But there’s not.
—No, there’s not.

—No carmesí,
no Kais,
just snow.
—Rest now,
you are safe home.
