Usé una aplanadora para aplastar al gusano.
Para las hormigas organicé un ataque aéreo.
Abeja que encontró su camino atravesando el tejido:
soplete.
Con los mamíferos fue más fácil—
un balde con agua para sumergir al gato,
una palabra envenenada arrojada al perro.
Para el amor sólo un fósforo. Eso y una
cocina perdiendo gas
y esperar hasta que la cena
estuviera buena y quemada.

Weaponry
I used an arrow to kill the spider.
I used a steamroller to flatten the worm.
I used a steamroller to flatten the worm.
For the ants I called in an air strike.
Bee that found its way in through the screen:
Bee that found its way in through the screen:
blowtorch.
The mammals were easier—
The mammals were easier—
a bucket of water for submerging the cat,
a poisoned word thrown to the dog.
a poisoned word thrown to the dog.
For love, only a kitchen match. That
and a stove leaking gas
and a stove leaking gas
and waiting until the dinner
was good and burned.
was good and burned.
