JAGUAR

By Pedro Du Bois (Balneário Camboriú, SC)

(Marina Du Bois, English version)

The jaguar comes out

from the bushes

jumps over me

Asks

what do I do

at the bush border

at the riverfront

In jacket and tie

and black patent leather shoes

I don’t know what to say

at the bush border

at the riverfront

I answer nothing

and the jaguar desappears among the trees.
