The mask of bone

The mask of bone
refuses to reveal

                             if the features it hides
                             are those of a god

or of a beast

                             or of both, which, after death,
                             continue fighting
                             for the same crown

The mask of bone

La máscara de hueso
se niega a revelar
                                  
                                    si los rasgos que oculta
                                    son los de un dios

o los de una bestia

                                    o si de ambos que, tras la muerte,
                                    continúan combatiendo
                                    por una misma corona.
