Locondo chronicles II
As I'm patiently(?) waiting for my next regeneration, I'll introduce some other Gypsies of Locondo, and give as faithful an image as possible of these troglodytes as they gathered for their weekly grand regeneration gathering at the Grotto. Another female species who'd often attend was Miguelina, an authentic Gypsy. Now don't let yourself be fooled by that friendly sounding mediterranean name, for Miguelina, under her live and let live, O so baba-cool appearance, hid a genuine avatar, a priestess that would bewitch people with love, compassion, and friendship, values seriously threatened in Locondo by the cult of paper money. That's what made her dangerous. She'd come up at the gatherings, would have a cup of Garido's mysterious potion, and then would put on her third eye, her gri-gris, and spread the wings of her velvety magician dress and start dancing to never stop, till exhaustion. She'd start close to the floor and curling up, undulating like a snake coming up of its basket on square Jamaa al' Fnaa in Marrakech. Quite a sight. Very kundalini dance. But after all, as theGypsies originally came from India, that makes sense.
