Trigger Warning
Through the Sierra de Pinares
(Pine forest mountain range)
In the mountains of Burgos, Spain
A mine’s girlfriend
Rich, beautiful, and lovely
And I, uglier than a bug
Went out to look for rare earths
With a little pig and a musical doll.
-On top of that mountain
In Quintanar de la Sierra
My grandfather found mushrooms
My girlfriend said.
I answered her very happily:
-And my grandfather found
A lot of fresh cow pies
And a celtíberian shit dripped
In Canicosa de la Sierra.
When we were going toward Revenga
The musical doll played
Without winding it up
And the little pig sniffed
Up to the Virgin’s Hermitage
Where it discovered with his snout
A Father Merino’s shit
From the War of Spanish Independence
All covered in roses.
My girlfriend picked the roses
While I saw their blood running
Between her fingers and hands.
I picked up the dry shit
All excited
Because, to me, it was the most beautiful.
-Tomorrow, at nine-thirty, I’m taking it
To the Museum of Human Evolution
I said to my girlfriend.
-And so? she asked.
-This beautiful shit announces
A lot of wealth and property, honey.
Well, it looks like an edible lump
Worthy of being displayed
On silk cloth
In addition to the fact that dried worms
Protrude from it so white¡
As you can see
Right next to it.
