Unsaddled wisdom, pleading wind, calm nature, forbidden handholding, and Eninco's longer stride turn love into a story already shadowed by the ends of love and time.

The poem pulls against every sentimental idea of love by placing it among blood, stride, fire, and prohibition. Eninco seems to embody a wilder poise, someone who can call nature calm without making it harmless. Watching him teaches the speaker that love and time end together, which is why telling the story becomes more important than saving the world.

Eninco again, mostly on horseback; wind pleading blood through crosses, the calm of a wild animal, 'it is not nada to love / and fire to bonita.' They are not allowed to walk hand in hand to save the world; watching Eninco smite his hooves, the speaker knows the end of love and of time.
