A Boy and A Girl - Octavio Paz

[A Boy and a Girl]

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.

A Boy and a Girl (Octavio Paz) - Eric Whitacre
