Guante De Seda
Alejandra Guzmán
Silk Glove
Mine, tough but mine
despite the lion's claws
it hides a child's heart
Mine, only mine
a rebel they already see
manages to keep me in suspense
Silk glove on skin
the firmest metal
and I don't want to scratch
Silk glove all honey
that has me night and day at its feet
cold, like cold ice
truly dangerous
more than double-edged knives
Mine, against all mine
singular strategy
that follows me and is always
calculating the smallest step it takes
Silk glove on skin
the firmest metal
and I don't want to scratch
Silk glove all honey
that has me night and day at its feet
oh, mine, forever mine
despite the lion's claws
it has a tender child's heart
Mine, only mine
a rebel they already see
manages to keep me
night and day chained
to its feet
