Connecting Labtec Mouse

As we were .. . and we




Listen as one listens to rain,

neither careful nor careless,

steps slight drizzle,

water is air, air that is time,

day does not ends up leaving,

the night but did not arrive,

figures fog

turn the corner,

figures of the time

of this break in the bend,

listen to me as one listens to rain,

no listen, listen what I say

eyes open inwards,

sleepy and alert the senses,

rain, light footsteps, the sounds of syllables,

air and water, words that do not weigh:

what we were and we ,

the days and years, this instant,

time without weight, heaviness huge

listen to me as one listens to rain,

shines the wet asphalt,

the steam rises and walks,

the night it opens and looks at me,

are you and your form of steam,

you and your face night

you and your hair, flashes slowly,

cross the road and get in my face,

steps of water over my eyelids,

listen to me as one listens to rain,

asphalt shines, you cross the street,

is the fog of the night wandering,

is the night sleeping in your bed,

is the wave of your breath,

your fingers of water bathe my forehead,

your fingers flame burn my eyes,

your fingers of the eyelids open air time,

appearance of apparitions and resurrections,

listen to me as one listens to rain,

pass Over the years, the return moments,

hear your footsteps in the next room?

not here nor there: listen to them

in another time that is right now,

listens to spend time

inventor of weightless space nor place,

hear the rain running for the terrace,

the night is now more night in the trees,

is nestled among the leaves, thunder,

vague garden adrift

- comes in, your shadow covers this page.

Octavio Paz from El fuego de fall dìa , 1992
