Edita’s Reviews > Immanent Visitor: Selected Poems of Jaime Saenz, A Bilingual Edition > Status Update

nder aloneness, at the hour of bewilderment and amazement, evening falls;
toward great depths and displacements, the horizon bears your weight,

With the passing of the years and the turning of these worlds and the lights I’ve gathered from contemplating the stars, I’ve become aware.
In the torrential waters every soul dissolves into universal soul.

In the lavish, vaporous light
and in the mountains’ ethereal air,
in transparency’s solitary immensities and in the columns of smoke, to the fleeting
warmth of the world ’s somber curving,
—in the streets and in the trees,
the rain reflects the quiet tenderness of your vision.
