Love and Horror
Horror and love
He rented a room in Puerto Lemon to make love to
a woman beautiful, but since both of them came from one of those hideous little towns along the coast of Norway they had to be discreet.
From the darkness of the night and into the light, flew
a wonderful insect, the color of gold
the wonder being danced to music only the two could hear and they swayed in a circle of love.
As we know, love can hurt, he reached out his arms and
accidentally damaged a wing and the ethereal being fell
to the ground and from cracks in the floorboard they came muscular ants, the destroyer of forbidden love
The ants dragged the golden queen down a crack, and he was spared seeing them turn her into pieces before eating to the sound of the evening bells.
He awoke the woman in his bed, she needed religious forgiveness, and he needed a cold beer.
