The Continuing Chronicles of Casmiro the Corpse-Hungry Cannibal
Casmiro gnaws.
Casmiro knows.
When he eats, he sees.
Memory.
Alfonso. Solicited dockside harlots. Gave his dear Sofia syphilis.
Tastes bad. Leave for the gulls.
Casmiro gnaws.
Casmiro knows.
When he eats, he hears.
Screams.
Geraldo. Killed his brother. Ran away to sea to escape the gallows.
Got his in the end. Spicy.
Casmiro gnaws.
Casmiro knows.
When he eats, he feels.
Loved.
Ignacio. Left his beloved to seek his fortune in New Spain. Not so fortuitous.
This one is sweet. Tender.
Picks the bone clean,
And tosses it to the ocean.
