They are Powerful

"Don´t say you are thristy, or they will bring you a glass of your own blood.
Don´t say you are hungry, or they will bring a tray with your own cut fingers.
Don´t say you are sleepy, or they will stitch your eyelids with thread.
Don´t say you love someone, or they will bring his putrid heart.
Don´t say you love the world, or they will increase the fires.
Don´t say you are looking for God, or they will fill your mouth with embers.
Don´t say that how beautiful is the dew that sweetly coats the fields,
for in every celestial drop they will inoculate pestilence."

-William Ospina, ¿Con quién habla Virginia caminando hacia el agua? (Who is Virginia talking to while walking towards water?)
