TWO BODIES
Two bodies face to face
Are sometimes like two waves
And the night is an ocean.
Two bodies face to face
Are sometimes like two stones
And the night is a desert.
Two bodies face to face
Are sometimes like the roots
Joined in the night.
Two bodies face to face
Are sometimes like knives
And the night is a lightening.
Two bodies face to face
Are like two stars that fall
In an empty sky.
Octavio Paz, 1944
