Octavio Paz Sun 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. Counterparts
In my body you search the mountain
for the sun buried in its forest.
In your body I search for the boat
adrift in the middle of the night.
... - 3. Summit And Gravity
There's a motionless tree
And another one coming forward
A river of trees
Hits my chest
... - 4. Axis
Through the conduits of blood
my body in your body
spring of night
my tongue of sun in your forest
...
