                                       NATURE POETRY

the sun,
track of its steps through the picture,
colour-acts,
axe-blows of black,
spiral of green,
yellow tree and its blazing fruit,
blue,
and its birds assaulting the white,
space,
martyred by ideas,
tattooed by passion.

– Octavio Paz (1914-1998)
