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 />

* * *<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.
