1. Two Bodies





    Two Bodies

    By Octavio Paz



    Two bodies face to face

    Are at times two waves

    And the night is an ocean.



    Two bodies face to face

    Are sometimes two stones

    And the night a desert.



    Two bodies face to face

    Are at times two roots

    Intertwined in the night.



    Two bodies face to face

    Are sometimes two stilettos

    And night lightening sparks.



    Two bodies face to face

    Are two stars who are falling

    In a naked sky.
