    By Octavio Paz
    English Translation by Muriel Rukeyser

     

    Stretched out on the grass,
    a boy and a girl.
    Savoring their oranges,
    giving their kisses like waves exchanging foam.

    Stretched out on the beach,
    a boy and a girl.
    Savoring their limes,
    giving their kisses like clouds exchanging foam.

    Stretched out underground,
    a boy and a girl.
    Saying nothing, never kissing,
    giving silence for silence.
