2.6.13 Thank you, Octavio Paz

Water night

If you open your eyes,

night opens, doors of musk,

the secret kingdom of the water opens

following from the center of the night.

Si abres los ojos

se abre la noche de puertas de musgo,

se abre el reino secreto del agua

que mana del centro de la noche

and if you close your eyes,
a river fills you from within,
flows forward, darkens you;
night brings its wetness to the beaches of your soul.

Y si los cierras,
un riote inuda por dentro,
avanza, te hare oscura;
la noche moja riberas en tu alma
