DANIEL DE CULLA

 


 

Catalina, My Beloved

 

In many places in Castile

They call donkey dung Catalina.

I had fallen in love with one

That seemed to me like a vase

Wide at the mouth

And narrow at the base

At the Segovian Center in Madrid

When she asked me to write her a poem

For she knew I was a poet

Having competed in several poetry contests.

That if she liked the poem

She would let me put my staff

Into her carnal gourd

Even if I broke it by going in.

I wrote her this poem:

“Catalina, my beloved

How well you dance.

Now I, Pedro, dance with you

And I'm going to put it in you.”

This amused Catalina greatly

That she let me do it like a whore at a fair

Filling her gourd with sperm

Encouraging me to fuck:

-Fuck, Pedro, life gives you.

When I finished ejaculating

Seeing me collapsed and exhausted

She began to frolic and laugh at me

Jumping from side to side, saying:

-Go on, brave one

Let's see if you can fuck me now

you son of the devil.

Mocking me, the whore

Cleaning herself with a sponge

She began to count the sperm

Before throwing the sponge

Into the cauldron of water

Into which she had cleaned my penis

Before fucking.

Like a blockhead

I began to rant, saying:

-Catalina, shit! shit!

 

Witches Of O Grove

 

It was in O Grove, Galicia.

I lay naked

Among rocks by the sea

Where two witches, sorceresses, or sorceresses

Embracing, sucking

See me masturbating

And they didn't do me any harm

Quite the opposite.

Like a rooster I crowed at dawn

With my joyful erection

Announcing the new day

While the waves crashed against the rocks

When they approached me

Saying, full of life:

-Come on, you cheeky one, more than cheeky one

Wipe yourself with our handkerchief

We'll wash them at home.

Don't throw the colostrum into the sea

Because it can impregnate the oysters

Scallops, queen clams, cockles, mussels.

Put on your swimsuit

And save your excellent passion

For the holidays

Because to your precious, supreme erection

The women will come singing

Announcing a new love.

The most turban-like love is a one-day thing

That comes, passes, and goes away

And doesn't return until you jerk off again

Singing to the new day.

I loved these two witches

Who were very nice

Because before saying goodbye they gave me

Two tasty buns

Made with rye and baby urine.

I begged one of them

Just as beautiful as the other

Who, later, I learned is called Titubea

Who told me in my ear

That Satan had impregnated her

To give me a blowjob.

She did it!

Milking me until I was dry

Leaving me as happy and content

As John Indian

Titubea's husband

The famous witch of Salem.

 

On Contemplation

 

My life was a martyrdom following the Life of Christ

Of Ludolph of Saxony

Known as the Carthusian

And Dionysius the Carthusian himself, the Ecstatic Doctor

In the Seminary of Madrid in Las Vistillas

Near the Bailén Bridge

From where young lovers who found no meaning

In their lives and circumstances:

Work, home, children, committed suicide.

In the portrait of these suicides

Who were already in heaven

Saying to God:

-Hallowed be thy name

I saw myself struggling to harmonize

The contemplative life with the active life

As Dominic of Guzmán did

Founder of the Order of Preachers.

Following Hugo de San Caro

From the Dominican School

My illuminative, purgative, and unitive spiritual life

I combined with my playful theology

In whose struggle I always triumphed over temptation

Sinning through masturbation

And my self-love

Dreaming of the excellences, benefits, and necessity

Of embracing good beautiful breasts

Like those in Bella Beaumont's book:

“Thirsty Sluts need their men”

A book similar to this one that I had

And would put inside my mattress

Or hide inside some empty covers

From the Kempis’ book.

Once they caught me asleep with this book in my arms

And an astonishing erection

The superior woke me up asking:

-That book you have

What is it called; what do you do with it?

I answered him with great piety and devotion:

-It is a blessing for men

And a curse for priests.

If you wish, Father, you can sit upon the erect

And doctrinal base of this my penis

As I do between the breasts of my aunts

When I come.

-Perdition is yours, heretic, wicked one

He replied, still sullen:

-You know what you have to do:

Leave the Seminary!

The Spiritual Exercises of last month

Have done you no good

Nor reading the John Tauler’ sermons in good Latin.

-Father, but Father, I will leave.

I will leave the Seminary with the conviction

Of having achieved

A moving solidity of perennial vitality

In my playful Theology

Of experimental and masturbatory mysticism.

The day I was leaving the Seminary

This priest approached me

Giving me a very tight hug

In which I felt his penis brush against mine’s.

This mine’s book disappeared from my room.

After a few days

Through a fellow ascetic-mystic like myself

Angel of Foligno, to be precise

Whom I ran into on the street

Because he, too, had gone out

I learned that they had taken it to the Library

Depositing him in the Prohibited Books Section

Passing it from hand to hand

Inside the Library itself

Until he was burned in the Seminary Kitchen

By a nun who had the same name

As the famous Juliana of Norwich

Who wrote “Revelations of Divine Love”.
