Words, phrases, syllables, stars that turn around
a fixed center.
Two bodies, many beings that meet in a word.
The paper is covered with indelible letters that no one spoke,
that no one dictated,
that have fallen there and ignited and burn and go out.
This is how poetry exists, how love exists.

-Octavio Paz
