The Flutist and the Lost Address

(A humble tribute to the cosmic script of Octavio Paz...)

​My writings slowly begin to fade,

A procession of stars every night,

Death's invitation right beside the words!

I realize the address is lost—

I comprehend the city, the village,

Fear, wonder, and humanity.

Yet, the flutist's intimate song,

Speaks of finding the lost address once again.

I love the powerful simplicity.

Very pleasant indeed to see some Octavio Paz. More people should discover his beautiful work.
