After ending up in the amazing old city in Madrid, where countless shops sell the most wonderful Kitsch Catholic relics, I had to create this special entry. I have always had a fascination with religious martyrs and the incredible amount of "blood" on some of these figures. Some of the relics are double life-size, it is just too gorgeous for words. I will most probably be burnt on the stake by the Catholic Church for this entry, but luckily I am only a visitor...

where the calle de hortaleza
and augusto figueroa meet
i danced the darkest tango
with a crippled angel

- chueca -

endless days and nights
of pleasure
strangers fucking fiercely
chasing a stray cat
away

here i found you

- my shadow -

whom i had to leave
like an abandoned infant
hugged the veil of night
on a police station' steps
