¡Viva el corazón poético de México!


ENTRE LA PIEDRA Y LA FLOR
Octavio Paz

En el alba de callados venenos
amanecemos serpientes.

Amanecemos piedras,
raíces obstinadas,
sed descarnada, labios minerales.

La luz en estas horas es acero,
es el desierto labio del desprecio.
Si yo toco mi cuerpo soy herido
por rencorosas púas.
Fiebre y jadeo de lentas horas áridas,
miserables raíces atadas a las piedras..."


BETWEEN THE ROCK AND THE FLOWER

The dawn of silent poisons
woke snakes.

We woke up stones,
stubborn roots,
thirsty naked, lips minerals.

The light at these times is steel,
lip is the desert of contempt.
If I touch my body I am injured
by spiteful barbs.
Fever and dry gasp of slow hours,
miserable roots tied to stones..."
