Octavio Paz Open Poems
- 1. No More Clichés
Beautiful face
That like a daisy opens its petals to the sun
So do you
Open your face to me as I turn the page.
... - 2. Across
I turn the page of the day,
writing what I'm told
by the motion of your eyelashes.
... - 3. Touch
My hands
Open the curtains of your being
Clothe you in a further nudity
Uncover the bodies of your body
... - 4. As One Listens To The Rain
Listen to me as one listens to the rain,
not attentive, not distracted,
light footsteps, thin drizzle,
water that is air, air that is time,
...
