There is a motionless tree there is another that moves forward a river of trees pounds at my chest The green swell of good fortune You are dressed in red you are the seal of the burning year carnal firebrand star of fruit I eat the sun in you The hour rests on a chasm of clarities The birds are a handful of shadows their beaks build the night their wings sustain the day Rooted at the light's peak between stability and vertigo you are the diaphanous balance.

There is a motionless tree
There is a motionless tree there is another that moves forward a river of trees pounds at my chest The green swell of good fortune You are dressed in red you are the seal of the burning year carnal firebrand star of fruit I eat the sun in you The hour rests on a chasm of clarities The birds are a handful of shadows their beaks build the night their wings sustain the day Rooted at the light's peak between stability and vertigo you are the diaphanous balance.
Octavio Paz
1914 - 1998/Male/Mexican
