Aquí era el paraíso / Here Was Paradise — page 9 — Jaguar Otras veces soy jaguar corro por barrancos salto sobre peñascos trepo montañas Miro más allá del cielo más allá del agua más allá de la tierra Platico con el sol juego con la luna arranco estrellas y las pego a mi cuerpo Mientras muevo la cola me echo sobre el pasto con la lengua de fuera 16

Aquí era el paraíso / Here Was Paradise — page 10 — Jaguar Other times I'm a jaguar I run through ravines jump over peaks climb mountains I look beyond the sky beyond the water beyond the earth I talk with the sun play with the moon pluck stars and stick them on my body As I move my tail I sprawl on the grass with my tongue hanging out 17
