Paz, Octavio: Two Bodies (Dos cuerpos in English)

Portre of Paz, Octavio

Dos cuerpos (Spanish)

Dos cuerpos frente a frente

son a veces dos olas

y la noche es océano.

 

Dos cuerpos frente a frente

son a veces dos piedras

y la noche desierto.

 

Dos cuerpos frente a frente

son a veces raíces

en la noche enlazadas.

 

Dos cuerpos frente a frente

son a veces navajas

y la noche relámpago.

 

Dos cuerpos frente a frente

son dos astros que caen

en un cielo vacío.

Two Bodies (English)

Two bodies face to face

Are at times two waves

And the night is an ocean.

 

Two bodies face to face

Are sometimes two stones

And the night a desert.

 

Two bodies face to face

Are at times two roots

Intertwined in the night.

 

Two bodies face to face

Are sometimes two stilettos

And night lightening sparks.

 

Two bodies face to face

Are two stars who are falling

In a naked sky.
