a fabulous collection of weird, extremely bizarre short stories, as well as some highly strange but very interesting poems, written by author and poet Arturo Hernandez.
The earth dont like me I found this out A long time ago. It says this early In the morning Every single time I wake. Why earth why? It must have been Something i said Something i did Some people i Screwed over? Why earth Why do you not Like me? I am sorry Earth so sorry That you dont like me I wish you did.
I watched them tango and do the lambada in the very dark and cold, in very little moonlight, the smell of old broken men was in the air.
I was sitting on the this long branch looking down below (quietly) at the sick & highly twisted dancing. The sounds of the ghoulish was music to no ones ears, but I listened carefully, trying not to vomit, as they continued to tango and two step, minuet, dirty dance. Until the sun came back again, rushing them all away.
It is now over the crack heads have gone looking frantically for more crack and their babies are sleeping underneath a cracked moonlight, on top of graves, with a murder of crows hanging around and babysitting them.
We watch how the sun sinks Behind the world and the way it finally goes away, and how it helps darkness take hold, And how it pushes all light away, away towards madness; towards The end all sanity.
I wake to the darkness gone. To birds chirping To the sun melting To the sun rays beaming To the cats meowing To the me creaking To the fish begging To the wife goodbying To the air warming.
My bones are hurting More than normal; And memory easily Reminds me of painless Days; Then sadness it smiles, It looks haughty, For it knows It has done its job well.
Its getting close to the day’s end And the sun has been frightened Away again. Running behind hills And oceans and jungles and ice mountains. Yo Sun! Dont be scared. We Dont bite!
Never mind what you hear it’s all nonsense. Its wise to never mind. You can’t believe everything. And they say everything that comes out of their mouths is untrue. I’m telling you the truth, they’re lying all the time. it’s like nothing that comes out of their mouths is true anymore.
Its all lies. Lies here and lies there lies everywhere. There’s nothing that’s real anymore. It’s like it’s completely nonsense and nonsense is the real and the real is nonsense, it’s all lies, lies, I tell you lies.
The real can be unreal And the unreal can be all lies And their lies can not be real And those real words are Said to be unreal. And so nothing is really What we believe.
What i believe to be too real was Once ( i believe more in Santa than reality) possibly reality. It is fake really now Just a big fat lie honestly; Perpertrations of Falsehoods That sometimes i found Glowing in the alley in My mind, no of my soul really, Of my soul truly, merely truth And not lies.
Was snoring, dreaming perhaps, of flying squirrels rabid raccoons on crack, or perhaps super hot girls. Who knows what, It dreams about. Or fantasizes about, Who knows what it likes to think about, as it sits alone up on that gigantic hill, looking all cool and extremely chill, up on that mountain of a hill, sometimes smoking crack, laughing at us little people, down below in our shacks, making plans, formulating schemes, pointing fingers at feeble people. Judging and proclaiming, casting sentences, sometimes murdering it makes no sense.
When their Wings die. When their Songs dry And their Brains fry And their Mother’s cry And their Tears dont lie And there See them try To escape To pry No fate No abate. A Hernandez 9 15 2025
Give me some light I am drowing I need some light Dig myself out of this Endless black hole Gathering more light Sucking more light Eating away from myself Digging deeper This never ending black hole. Into my soul…
