El Tigre

I'm the tiger
I stalk you among the broad leaves
Like nuggets of wet mineral
The white river grows under the fog
You arrive... naked you submerge
I wait... then in a leap
Of fire, blood, teeth...

With one swipe I bring down your chest
Your hips, I drink your blood
I break your limbs one by one
And I stay watching for years
In the jungle, your bones, your motionless ashes.

Far from hatred and anger
Disarmed in your death
Crossed by the vines
Motionless in the rain
Relentless sentinel
Of my killer love.
