Untitled

The sky fell to the floor:
its ultramarine reduced to dust.
As if it would now pour:
crude crusts of benevolent rust.

Scripts

"Which tense do you want to live in?"
- Osip Mandelstam 

There was a Poet,
quite prophetic and noble,
who hovered over this greened earth.
"Faith is a bird that migrates . . .", he wrote.

There will come a Poet,
experimental yet eloquent,
who will bless us 
with verses of the apocalypse.

There is a poet,
however
condescending and narcissistic,
living -
somewhere in gutters -
exactly where he belongs.

The Scream 2.0

How would Edvard Munch paint us this time?

At first,
he won't.
Then an HD photograph.

In the background,
a shopping complex -
advertising the importance of trees.
On it,
a gigantic screen
displaying some benefit concert.

Towards the middle,
a figure emerging -
arms open (motion blur)
almost weepy, reacting
as if surprised...

Fitted with a well practised,
clinical fake smile.
