Leopard Poem by L.B. Temuco

I am waiting for you
to arrive, to unpeel me
in segments
my skin
Your dark mane
The leopard in your eyes
My heart there in front of me
This estuary
That joins
Where we enter
Each other
Before the beginning
That enters
Where we join
Each other
Beyond the purple moon
this infinite petal
The earth left ajar
The sound of barely nothing
The logs in the ocean
Crashing
To where we have crawled to
For so long
Our bodies laying, opened
Your carapace discarded
In an orange angry gaze
Our fingers around the moon
