Me desperté un día
y supe que ya no era el mismo.
No por el cuerpo extraño
que encontré al abrir los ojos,
sino porque el mundo
me miraba distinto.

Antes era útil:
madrugaba,
viajaba en tren,
vendía telas.
No era feliz,
pero al menos servía.
Ahora soy… esto.

Lo más duro
no es la forma que tengo,
ni las patas que no sé controlar.
Lo más duro
es que nadie pregunta
si sigo siendo yo.

Mi madre llora,
mi padre me aparta con violencia,
mi hermana me alimenta
como si fuera un animal.
Nadie dice “Gregor”,
solo “eso”.

A veces pienso
que la transformación
no fue un castigo,
sino una revelación.
Tal vez siempre fui invisible,
y ahora el mundo lo ve.

Tal vez mi cuerpo solo muestra
lo que ya era:
alguien que no encajaba,
alguien que sobraba.

Pero sigo aquí.
Sigo sintiendo,
sigo pensando,
sigo amando en silencio.

Soy Gregor Samsa,
aunque nadie lo crea.
Y aunque me escondan
tras una puerta cerrada,
mi voz aún existe.

(Kafka nunca explica si fue un castigo, una enfermedad, un sueño o un hecho sobrenatural. El cambio es repentino ocurre de la noche a la mañana, sin transición. Gregor se acuesta como siempre y despierta transformado)

Josef K, Gregor Samsa, and the penal colony

Josef K woke up one morning to discover that his friend Gregor Samsa had been sent to a penal colony. He wrote to his father for advice, but never got an answer. He wrote to his grandfather, who wrote back that he would gladly write a report to the academy

Kafkas Erzählung „Die Verwandlung“ erzeugte eine unbändige Lust, ein Diorama dazu zu bauen. Hier die Szene am Morgen nach der Verwandlung des Handlungsreisenden Gregor Samsa in ein Riesen-Insekt. Alle Teile sind realisiert aus Resten und Dingen, die ich noch hatte.

Für Perry Rhodan Fans: Ribald Corello der Supermutant (statt Gregor Samsa). Verblüffende Ähnlichkeit zu Merz... 😉

Ribald Corello – Perrypedia

Talking about a dream where I met some nightmare creatures but they were DTF.

In one of the dreams I had this morning, I was visiting the opulent suite of a missing eccentric wealthy dude. I didn't know he was actually missing at first. I thought he was just on some extended sabbatical. His suite was open to his friends while he was out and I was friends with some of his friends. I think we'd been using one of his solid, massive tables for an overnight TTRPG session because it was morning and we were packing up backpacks and other types of bags, loading up binders and notebooks and related paraphernalia. No dice that I remember so I'm not sure what we'd been doing. It's not important.
There was a little TV near us and it was showing what looked like a documentary about the eccentric dude living in a wetland, trying to be one with the animals there.
His arms and legs were too long and he had these long oval/diamond shaped wounds where his elbows and knees were. He could also bend his arms and legs in any direction and seemed to have extra joints.
My friends told me that the eccentric dude routinely broke his own bones and reshaped his limbs so he could train his muscles to move them in new directions. He wanted to belong in the wetland, standing like an egret or something in the water. They told me that if the bones healed in a way he didn't like, he would just break them again.
I was like, "that's interesting". I wondered how he dealt with the pain.
My friends said we could go look at it. I wasn't sure what they meant but I followed them.
We went out into a hallway and down to a different room.
When the opened the doorway, I saw that the wetland was indoors. There was a narrow path along the right wall and that's where they led me.
In the back right corner were a series of observation couches. They went up to them and laid down.
I was down in the wetlands area, on some of the dry ground to get a better look.
I haven't mentioned the creatures. There were five creatures living in the wetlands that weren't evident in the video.
They were things of nightmare, but they were not hostile. They had been semi-domesticated.
I only remember what two of them looked like.
One was translucent, quadrupedal, sleep paralysis shadow demon with red eyes and a shifting number of legs. It was made of straight lines with no curves.
The other was a giant beetle that looked like the Gregor Samsa as Beetle from the R. Crumb illustrated version of Kafka's Metamorphosis, but two to three times the size. It had a dark blue carapace and a white underbelly.
There was another one, the only thing I remember was its color: a sickly yellow, like the yellow wallpaper. It reminded me of a flying cockroach that scared the crap out of me when I was a kid sitting on the toilet in the bathroom.
Anyway, to my amazement, after my friends laid down on the couches in the corner, three of the creatures went up there and started making out with them.
They were DTF (apparently).
As I was standing there in shock, the yellow creature came up and talked to me.
It told me that the eccentric dude was the only person who ever treated them with respect and not fear. The eccentric dude spent lots of time with them trying to learn from them and discover how to emulate their essence. He felt a kinship with them. The yellow creature was upset that the eccentric dude had run off and it blamed other humans for causing him to abandon them for other pursuits.
The yellow creature got so mad about it that he started attacking me and the other humans.
He wasn't trying to hurt us, just force us to GTFO.
The DTF creatures were passive, just letting it happen.
The fifth creature joined in with the yellow creature and started taunting us, too.
As we were at the door, I reminded the DTF creatures that, without humans being allowed to come into the room, they'd never get to bone one again.
That caused the giant beetle to fight back but it wasn't enough to keep us from being pushed out.
Anyway, it was kind of funny to see terrifying creatures ripped from night terrors and phobias turned into sex fiends.
Also, I realized that the eccentric dude seemed to be like Narcisse from Nightbreed: someone willing to mutilate themselves to be worthy of joining the monsters.
