ANOMALIES MUSEUM
(Rômulo Ballestê and Luiz “Cliff” Dorea)
An impetous glance you throw at
These ignominious feats
From unowed icons, whose persuasive senselessness
Thus sip that ordinary plasm
Building smiles, from blackened complacent gums.
Abject species once collected now live in crystals
Which keep morbid existential figures in a
Spectacle of imprisioned aberrations
Teratogenic dilacerations, artistically caved at birth
Inspire suprarealistic conceptions of human sculptures
THIS IS HOW WE ARE!
Behold this garden of monstrosities!
Collection of anomalies which reflects the beauty
In the wall mirrors of this palace of horror
Aversive aesthetic pleasure by immobile contemplation of bestiary
Through so subtle deformations that stay in the lanes of normality
Strangely attached to the monstrous – siamystic vertebras
Enthusiastically smashed cosmogony
By visceragonic jaws
Which devour resounding abortive explosions
Lovely existence!
From a tiny and strident fissure
And thus so obtuse
drawing themselves
Exposed wounds in perverse anatomic forms
Cynicism – eternally ephemeral and unknown
I tear off my eyes
So I can’t see my fragile condition
