The Street (Octavio Paz)

Here is a long and silent street

I walk in blackness and I stumble and fall 

and rise, and i walk blind, my feet 

trampling the silent stones and the dry leaves 

someone behind me also tremples, stones, leaves 

if I slow down, he slows

if I run, he runs I turn: nobody

Everything dark and doorless 

only my steps aware of me 

I turning and turning among these corners 

which lead forever to the street 

where nobody want for, nobody follows me 

where I pursue a man who stumbles 

and rises and says when he sees me : nobody 

.
