Closing my eyes I open them inside your eyes...by Octavio Paz

I turn the page of the day,
writing what I'm told
by the motion of your eyelashes.
the truthfulness of the dark.

I want proofs of darkness, want
to drink the black wine:
take my eyes and crush them.

A drop of night
on your breast's tip:
mysteries of the carnation.

Closing my eyes
I open them inside your eyes.

Always awake
on its garnet bed:
your wet tongue.

There are fountains
in the garden of your veins.

With a mask of blood
I cross your thoughts blankly:
amnesia guides me
to the other side of life.

~ Octavio Paz
