To Write


Tangible idea,

intangible word:

poetry comes a

nd goes

between what is

and what is not.

It weaves

and unweaves reflections.

Poetry

scatters eyes on a page,

scatters words

on our eyes.

Eyes speak,

words look, l

ooks think.

To hear thoughts,

see what we say, t

ouch the body of an idea.

Eyes close, the words open.


Octavio Paz
