"La especie interfecta" by Miguel D'addario
 To die, yes
 not be attacked by death.
 To die persuaded
 that such a travel is the best.
And in that last moment be merry
 as when you count the minutes
of the station the clock
and each is worth a century.
 Because the death is faithful wife
 who takes over his traitor lover,
we do not want to receive it from intruder
 or run away with her.
 Too much Sometimes we departed
 without farewell!
 On the point of crossing in an instant the time,
 even when the memory be confused,
 let us, Oh Death, to tell the world goodbye
 grant us still a delay.
 The immense step is not
 precipitously.
 At the thought of sudden death
 My blood is freezing.
 Death does not snatch me
 but by far announced
 and take me as a friend
 as the extreme of my habits.
