Poem by Octavio Paz

Your Hair Is Lost in the Forest
Your hair has disappeared into the forest,
Your foot touches mine.
When you sleep, you’re larger than the night,
Yet your dreams are trapped within this room.
How small we are, though we exist!
Outside, a taxi passes by,
Loaded with ghosts.
The river beside us flows on —
And always turns back.
