El Ascensor
Luis Eduardo Aute
The Elevator
The elevator
Stopped between two floors
We didn't know why, after screaming
We banged
The walls and doors
No one came
Hours passed and you were sweating
Like me, oxygen was running out
Second by second
Already naked, naked
And the sweat
Suffocating sweat in the embrace
Hysterical
You smelled like wild lemons
Fresh, mysterious, exotic, exciting
In them is locked all the perfume
Of the adventure
The adventure of wild Caribbean lemons
The adventure of 'fa'
In an elevator have been found
The naked corpses of a man
Forty-two years old and a woman
Young undocumented in an
Indecent attitude
The coroner, once performed
The autopsy
The police
Continues the investigation
