La Casa de la Mirada
The House of Glances by Octavio Paz
The heart is an eye.
You are in the house of glances.
Two mirrors have hidden
All their
ghosts.
Your eye is a hand,
Your hand has five eyes,
Your glance has two hands.
We must repopulate the house of the eyes.
You come and go between the
infinity outside, and your own
infinity.
There are animals, planets, beings in your neurons.
To love:
To open the forbidden door, the passageway
That takes us to the other side of time.
The moment:
The
opposite of death
Our fragile
eternity.
To love is to lose oneself in time.
To be a mirror among mirrors.
