I travel your length, like a river
I travel your body, like a forest,
like a mountain path that ends at a cliff
I travel along the edge of your thoughts
and my shadow falls from your white forehead,
my shadow shatters, and I gather the pieces
and go with no body, groping my way

Octavio Paz
From Piedra de Sol (The Sun Stone), translated by Eliot Weinberger
