(Pedro): Don’t take things too seriously, it is always said and heard

and I found myself wandering in places unknown, and it was quite splendid

really for I’ve encountered few travelers here and the road, the plants and trees

seem to gather tightly around me, whispering secrets of buried bones filled with

gems. And of course everyone knows the dead need no gold, the flies they buzz around

all day and the bats come screeching at night but I find it comforting, to know

that at least I am alive to fill in the gap, the holes are gutted out, earth’s flesh give way

as I find myself holding on artifacts accursed, they give me the thrills for it is so very forbidden

and I am a non believer. The devil smiled for he loves non believers. Non believers are the most fun to play with. For he vanishes not, he diminishes not, he is adequate as he is and believing does not

make him more so. It’s time to play the hidden road vomited out the guts, the decaying flesh

and all too soon I knew what I was in for. Of course, by the time I did realize this, the road had already closed and I was left with much treasure and much curse.
