:sea retreat ~ sitting in this place, both grounded and fluid, between day and night, where everything ebbs and flows

El agua horada la piedra,

el viento dispersa el agua,

la piedra detiene al viento.

Agua, viento, piedra.

El viento esculpe la piedra,

la piedra es copa del agua,

el agua escapa y es viento.

Piedra, viento, agua.

El viento en sus giros canta,

el agua al andar murmura,

la piedra inmóvil se calla.

Viento, agua, piedra.

Uno es otro y es ninguno:

entre sus nombres vacíos

pasan y se desvanecen

agua, piedra, viento

Water hollows stone,

wind scatters water,

stone stops the wind.

Water, wind, stone.

Wind carves stone,

stone’s a cup of water,

water escapes and is wind.

Stone, wind, water.

Wind sings in its whirling,

water murmurs going by,

unmoving stone keeps still.

Wind, water, stone.

Each is another and no other:

crossing and vanishing

through their empty names:

water, stone, wind.

~Octavio Paz translated by Eliot Weinberger
