U mojoj mikromitologiji rodio se još jedan uncanny valley entitet. Spektralno biće i žarkorskrletno otjelovljenje u centru daleki je, hibridni eho Perzefone što se diže iz podzemlja i ekvivalent Morane, staroslavenske štrigoidne božice zime, smrti i noćnih mora sa svojom sablasno bijelom kožom, porculanski lomnom i lunarno ledenom, i proljetne Lade što sluti rascvjetalnu bujnost post-ekvinocija, podatna žrtvovanju na lomači poput groteskne i makabrične ritualne lutke što simbolizira cikličnost (ženske) prirode i virulentnih psihičkih amplituda, i plahovitu divljost galopirjuće, vibrantne, električne žudnje. Okupana krvlju, menstruacije crne poput žuči melankolije, trbuhozborična i opsceno ranjiva, tinja i čeka vatru što će slistiti vampirsku bol, ili nju samu u nekoj budućoj inkarnaciji.

(From my book "Alchemy of Melancholia")

Voices of lamias in my head

Peaking violently dizzy heights

Vultures pecking my virgin flesh

Ultramarine corpse, cerulean breaths,

Sapphire blood, kitchen knife blade

Etching fatal canyons in my delicate

Porcelain skin, I didn´t deserve this

I yell, kissing bijou byzantine icons

Turned upside down, you push me

Down in the bushes, give me antichrist

Babies, we dance as beautiful lonely satans,

Angelic strippers of tinsel nectarine

On nembutal of burning hills

My stilletos poke and pierce your

Heavenly eyes, in mephisto dance of

Amethyst siren, flashing syrup of your

Intestinal archipelago, entrancing,

Enchanting you, bewitching your ouija,

Oh, sefirot of misfits, their slit wrists

And dirty punk faces pressed against

Tempestuous silverscreens of howling,

Horny desire, zephir is wild, anacondas

Copulate in feverish hemorrhage of deep

Lunar cuts, Lorelei bedevils doped up

Sailors in her troublesome loins of

Vicious orchids.Their leechy labia flicker

Like pyromaniacs in ecstasy of crimson

Crime, sanguine mermaids suck your ardorous

Itch of salacious maniac, nympho lymphosis

Bites off your listless dewy limbs

Like a cannibal, she screeches jelly blood,

Puking and vomiting fountains

Of bloody tentacles, clairvoyant

Antennas of violated violator, and

Your chopped off head is rolling down

The Neptune Avenue like carnal, fetal

Snowflake, tumor of love, desolate heresy

Of everything I ever believed in,

Blinding sun of nuclear noon

- i killed it with my cold crucifix moon

In obscene gemstone erotica

I devour your cellophane heart,

That useless piece of pulsating meat

I surf on the swelling waves

Of your wretched tar despair

When your scandalous wildcat hands

Criminal and polluted as hell´s blaze grave

Reach for my pure, bright face

Lucid as a lighthouse upon pitch-black

Blizzard cape

 

 Vampire Siren Elysium Moan

--------------------------------------

(From my book "Alchemy of Melancholia") 

Marakesch nightmare

In red pontiac murder

My Lolita misery is setting me

On fire in sparkling lilac gardens

Heavenly hanging delights

Of carnival suspiria.

Perfume car crashes burning

In coyote Navayo, I´m crying in

Talons of demonic blue of the moon.

Sacriledge of his coconut jaws makes me

Shiver in pines, bleached puffy skin

Shimmering like disintegration

Of morphine mistress, her sepulchral

Golden mogul in hawaiian shirt flies

Like pink flamingos in his narcotic haze

I dance for him in the shotgun

I my wedding dress from Rajasthan

Lulling babies into dark cliff of the night,

My ocean squamas twinkle like

Razorblade. I pull the knife under

Fuchsia gown and draw ominous omens

Of spectral hallucinations

Like somnambulist

Pain is stronger when blood is cold

Batshit basketcase wandering

Through midnight labyrinths of perfectly

Sliced ivies, like chateau garden

I kiss gargoyles and they pull me in

The vortex, masquerade screams

Of distorted faces in agony, melting, shrieking,

Pale lunatics with lavender suicides in the

Corner of the eye. My sadness jaded green,

Jaded asphyxation, turning trash to gold

In laguna marinade, Earth to Petra,

Earth to Petra,

Over,

My phantasmagorias kidnapped me,

Over,

Tantalizing fruit of evil disguised

As motherly lullaby, hypnotizing me

As a first kiss of forbidden crush

Romeo is bleeding in heartshaped

Massacre, stabbing him to death, oh, lilies

Of my vanity, daughter dolorosa, smudged

Scarlet lips, dancing on the graveyard

Of venom hydra´s kiss

My photographic work "Flora Lust" was included in the collection "Creative Portraiture Inspired by Cindy Sherman" on Saatchi Art Gallery. I am most certainly proud, honored and almost head-over-heels happy, because Cindy is a living legend and iconic visual storyteller!
