Thursday Poem

Here
Octavio Paz

My steps along the street
resound
in another street
in which
I hear my steps
passing along this street
in which

Only the mist is real

Aqui
Octavio Paz

Mis pasos en esta calle
Resuenan
en otra calle
donde
oigo mis pasos
pasar en esta calle
donde

Sólo es real la niebla
