Between what I see and what I say - Octavio Paz


op

[1]
Between what I see and what I say 
Between what I say and what I keep silent 
Between what I keep silent and what I dream 
Between what I dream and what I forget: 
poetry.
          It slips
between yes and no,
                               says
what I keep silent,
                           keeps silent
what I say,
                 dreams
what I forget.
                    It is not speech:
it is an act.
                It is an act
of speech.
               Poetry
speaks and listens:
                            it is real.
As soon as I say
                         it is real,
it vanishes.
                Is it more real?


[2]
Tangible idea,
                     intangible 
word:
         poetry
comes and goes.
