Los Dos Alazanes
Ramón Ayala
The Two Stallions
They met
The two stallions
On the corner
Of the park
Of the town
Their riders
As they were rivals
They threw
Looks of fire
Hidden
Lying in the grass
A boy
Trembled in fear
The stranger
Took out a coin
And made it
Spin in
The air
If I come out
Alive
From the duel
I ask for Sun
So that Carmen dies
The boy
Turned over
The coin
In this way
Saving
His mother
But now
The worst was missing
Two rivals
Had to kill each other
The boy
Adored the tutor
Rarely
Respected his father
He was uneasy
Sinister
In the kiosk
A shadow
Of death
Relentless
They moved away
The two
Twenty steps
And the tutor
Thought of the boy
I can't kill
His father
He might
Hate me
In time
When he was about to
It was seen
That they drew
He left
His holstered gun
It was heard
To go off
A shot
With the echo
Of a scream
In the street
The horses
Also neighed
And a boy
Choked
In his blood
The stranger
Cried out
My son
Why did you cross
He wanted
To save
Both
And that's why
He gave
His life
Covering
His chest
The tutor
With tears
On his face
While
A stallion
Carried away
A rider
Empty of soul
