Bird's Eye View

From The Collected Poems of Octavio Paz 1957-1987

For Guillermo Sucre

By Octavio Paz

Furiously
              it whirls around
over a reflection
                         falls
in a straight line
                         clear-cut
whiteness
                ascends
the beak now blood-red
scattered salt
                     scarcely a line
as it falls
              straight
your glance
                  over this page
dissolved

A Vista De Pájaro

A Guillermo Sucre

Furiosamente
                    gira
sobre un reflejo
                        cae
en línea recta
                      afilada
blancura
             asciende
ya sangriento el pico
sal dispersa
                  apenas línea
al caer
           recta
tu mirada
               sobre esta página
disuelta
