Sometimes I’m a jaguar
running through ravines,
leaping boulders,
climbing mountains.
I look beyond the sky,
beyond the water,
beyond the earth.
I chat with the sun,
play with the moon,
and pluck stars
and stick them to my body.
My tail stirs as I
stretch out on the grass,
tongue panting.
Humberto Ak'abal (born 1952 - 2019) Guatemala
