Poetry

I am in a room
Where language lies abandoned
You are in another, identical room
Or perhaps we both stand
On a street your gaze has emptied

The world
slowly unravels
Memory
shatters beneath our feet

I stop,
midway through this
unwritten line.

Poet: Octavio Paz

Have always had a passing fancy for poetry. Not a strong passion. But earlier this year got absorbed into reading Pessoa. Then tried to read Leaves of Grass and got stuck. Perhaps now with the weather getting cold I can return to it again.

Octavio Paz is one of my favorite poets
His poems are very close to my soul 😊🙏🏻

I have never read his poetry. Two books. One on Mexico and the other Duchamp. What you have shared here makes me want to read his poetry now.
