Some Beasts - Poem by Pablo NerudaIt was the twilight of the iguana:
From a rainbowing battlement,a tongue like a javelinlunging in verdure;an ant heap treading the jungle,monastic, on musical feet;the guanaco, oxygen-finein the high places swarthed with distances,cobbling his feet into gold;the llama of scrupulous eyethe widens his gaze on the dewsof a delicate world.
A monkey is weavinga thread of insatiable lustson the margins of morning:he topples a pollen-fall,startles the violet-flghtof the butterfly, wings on the Muzo.
It was the night of the alligator:snouts moving out of the slime,in original darkness, the pullulations,a clatter of armour, opaquein the sleep of the bog,turning back to the chalk of the sources.

The jaguar touches the leaveswith his phosphorous absence,the puma speeds to his covertin the blaze of his hungers,his eyeballs, a jungle of alcohol,burn in his head.
