Hizo un día helador;
enterramos al gato
y luego incineramos
su cajón en la huerta:
las pulgas que escaparon
a la tierra y al fuego
murieron congeladas.

Complete Destruction
It was an icy day.
We buried the cat,
then took her box
and set fire to it
in the back yard.
Those fleas that escaped
earth and fire
died by the cold.
