La ley del monte [English translation]

I cut your name, intertwined with mine, into the stalk of a maguey -

as proof before the Law of the Mountain that we were there, as we declared our love.

You yourself were the one that chose the stalk, the most slender, the most beautiful. You even insisted that I add two hearts and an arrow ...

And now you say that you don't remember, that it's not true, that they are just words...

But I am at peace, because in the end, our story shows: the stalks speak.

My love, the same night that you changed your mind, you cut down that stalk.

You imagined that if people saw it, it would be an insult to you.

What you forgot is that the maguey knew what you swore on our night and that in its way it could also reproach you.

I don't know if you believe the strange things that my eyes see, you would probably be appalled* -

The stalks that sprout from the maguey are all engraved with our names.
