Hay una noche, un tiempo hueco, sin testigos, una noche de uñas y silencio, páramo sin orillas,isla de yelo entre los días; una noche sin nadie sino su soledad multiplicada.
Se regresa de unos labios nocturnos, fluviales, lentas orillas de coral y savia, de un deseo, erguido como la flor bajo la lluvia, insomne collar de fuego al cuello de la noche, o se regresa de uno mismo a uno mismo, y entre espejos impávidos un rostro me repite a mi rostro, un rostro que enmascara a mi rostro.
Frente a los juegos fatuos del espejo mi ser es pira y es ceniza, respira y es ceniza, y ardo y me quemo y resplandezco y miento un yo que empuña, muerto, una daga de humo que le finge la evidencia de sangre de la herida, y un yo, mi yo penúltimo, que sólo pide olvido, sombra, nada, final mentira que lo enciende y quema.
De una máscara a otra hay siempre un yo penúltimo que pide. Y me hundo en mí mismo y no me toco.
Octavio Paz

O Captain My Captain. Walt Whitman
O Captain my Captain! our fearful trip is done,
The ship has weathered every rack, the prize we sought is won,
The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting,
While follow eyes the steady keel, the vessel grim and daring;
But O heart! heart! heart!O the bleeding drops of red,
Where on the deck my Captain lies,Fallen cold and dead.
O Captain! my Captain! rise up and hear the bells;
Rise up--for you the flag is flung for you the bugle trills,
For you bouquets and ribboned wreaths for you the shores a-crowding,
For you they call, the swaying mass, their eager faces turning;
Here Captain! dear father!This arm beneath your head!
It is some dream that on the deck,You've fallen cold and dead.
My Captain does not answer, his lips are pale and still;
My father does not feel my arm, he has no pulse nor will;
The ship is anchored safe and sound, its voyage closed and done;
From fearful trip the victor ship comes in with object won;
Exult O shores, and ring O bells!But I, with mournful tread,
Walk the deck my Captain lies,Fallen cold and dead.
The ship has weathered every rack, the prize we sought is won,
The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting,
While follow eyes the steady keel, the vessel grim and daring;
But O heart! heart! heart!O the bleeding drops of red,
Where on the deck my Captain lies,Fallen cold and dead.
O Captain! my Captain! rise up and hear the bells;
Rise up--for you the flag is flung for you the bugle trills,
For you bouquets and ribboned wreaths for you the shores a-crowding,
For you they call, the swaying mass, their eager faces turning;
Here Captain! dear father!This arm beneath your head!
It is some dream that on the deck,You've fallen cold and dead.
My Captain does not answer, his lips are pale and still;
My father does not feel my arm, he has no pulse nor will;
The ship is anchored safe and sound, its voyage closed and done;
From fearful trip the victor ship comes in with object won;
Exult O shores, and ring O bells!But I, with mournful tread,
Walk the deck my Captain lies,Fallen cold and dead.
