MELODY OF THE SUICIDE MANNEQUINS

By Julio Puyo Méndez



In a bar you lose

the last night of your youth

the city streetlights illuminate

the last path of the present

tomorrow nothing will be the same

tomorrow the future

will be upon us

crushing us

with lacerating ropes

drowning

in front of satirizing presences

 

 

Expensive is the price

without weapons in the face of adversity

low is the ground

under which we lie inert

facing the shadows of reality

 

We insult the executed

under the arm of destiny

Well, I lower the price of my soul

they lie amputated

all my false hopes

all agonizing meaning

 

 

I have sealed with my blood

the gates of death

before being born

only with the fears of others

we leave behind the molting of the snake

we left behind

a fragile, piercing lament

called present

 

 

Me and my shadow are enough

to defeat your army

today we will dress

the last mask we have left

that of a twisted and tempting lover

called death

melancholic and dazzling

threatening, attractive.
