Un día Chema los topó en el ojo diagua,<br />
diciéndose secretos, senta dos en la ráiz<br />
<strong>de</strong>l tamarindo. Taba puesta la tormenta<br />
y había un oscuro lleno <strong>de</strong> inquietud.<br />
Se habían parado las hojas, como si el<br />
aire se biera coagulado. Entre los besos<br />
<strong>de</strong>l agua en el pedrero, se oiban besos<br />
<strong>de</strong> labio. No pudo contenerse. Una<br />
nube espesa <strong>de</strong> celos, más tormentosa<br />
y relampagueante que la <strong>de</strong>l cielo, le<br />
cegó un instante. Llegó, trémulo, por la<br />
espalda y clavó su daga <strong>de</strong> un golpe.<br />

La tormenta llenó el mundo con su furia<br />
imponente. Como un látigo, caiba el<br />
rayo sobre las espaldas impotentes <strong>de</strong><br />
los volcanes encogidos, que huían en<br />
grupos. El río rugidor arrastraba, entre<br />
el lodo y la leña, un muñeco infeliz, con<br />
un aljiler clavado en el mero corazón.<br />

One day Chema saw them sitting at<br />
the root of a tamarind tree by the pond<br />
telling each other secrets. The storm<br />
was coming and there was an unsettling<br />
darkness. The leaves had stopped<br />
rustling as if the air had coagulated.<br />
Among the kisses of the water over<br />
the stones, kisses of lips were heard.<br />
He could not contain himself. A thick<br />
cloud of jealousy, more turbulent and<br />
with more lightning than that of the<br />
sky, blin<strong>de</strong>d him in an instant. Chema<br />
arrived tremulously behind him and he<br />
stabbed Felipe with his dagger.<br />

The storm filled the world with its<br />
imposing fury. Like a whip, the lightning<br />
fell over the imposing backs of the<br />
shrunken volcanoes that were fleeing<br />
in groups. The roaring river carried away<br />
firewood and mud and a miserable<br />
doll with a pin nailed right in his heart.
