"To write a text" (Roberto Juarroz)

"To write a text

and leave it abandoned on the page.

Not to read it again,

nor to show it to anyone,

not to send it anywhere.

Let it remain the text's repose.

And let it find its reader there,

as all texts find their readers.

Even the text we carry written inside

that seems impossible for anyone to read."

― Roberto Juarroz
