LA CONQUISTA (The Conquest)

by catherine tomas

the sun behind his bones the neck underneath his body

he is sweating like crazy

standing up on the floor

he sings out loud he cries for help but not like any other

smelling fear

he leaps upon the sky

weeps and weeps and weeps

together with the birds up in the sky

calling for help he pleads! pulling out the weeds

he sits back on the floor

and dared them to come more... slowly the creatures started to roar

roar loudly as they can

he is scared but he doesn't show, with all his might and strength

he thought harder than he ever did

beginning to be a beast

planning to have a feast

he threw their throats apart

they melted like bars

then they suddenly disappeared

he sings out loud, he is relieved

lays back on the floor smiling, and smiling once more

so happy that he finally did

face his greatest fear
