La Ley Del Monte

I engraved your name on the agave leaf
joined with mine, intertwined
as proof before the law of the mountain
that we were in love there

You were the one who searched for the leaf
the prettiest, the most slender
and you even said I should also engrave
two hearts with an arrow...

Now you say you don't remember anymore,
that nothing is true, that they are just words
I am calm because
in the end, in our idyll
the leaves speak

The same night you changed my love,
you also cut that leaf
you imagined that if you saw it
it would be like a slap in the face
you forgot that the agave knew
what you swore on our night
and that in its own way it could
reproach you

I don't know if you believe the strange things, that my eyes see
maybe they amaze you
the new leaves that sprout on the agave
are marked with our names
