“I crave your mouth, your voice, your hair.
Silent and starving, I prowl through the streets.
Bread does not nourish me, dawn disrupts me, all day
I hunt for the liquid measure of your steps.
I hunger for your sleek laugh,
your hands the color of a savage harvest,
hunger for the pale stones of your fingernails,
I want to eat your skin like a whole almond.
I want to eat the sunbeam flaring in your lovely body,
the sovereign nose of your arrogant face,
I want to eat the fleeting shade of your lashes,
and I pace around hungry, sniffing the twilight,
hunting for you, for your hot heart,
Like a puma in the barrens of Quitratue.”

“Have the mind of a fox,
the heart of a lion,
the tongue of a serpent,
the flair of a swan,
and the soul of a dove.
Have the fortitude of a camel,
the courage of a bear,
the strength of a bull,
the fierceness of a wolf,
and the might of an elephant.”

“Train your ears to hear more,
your eyes to see more,
your hands to do more,
your feet to accomplish more,
your mind to think more,
your heart to feel more,
and your soul to love more.
The mind, though small, can perceive the impossible.
The heart, though small, can endure the impossible.
The soul, though small, can experience the impossible.
The hands, though small, can do the impossible.
The tongue, though small, can express the impossible.
The eyes, though small, can discern the impossible.
The ears, though small, can understand the impossible.”
