Simplictity: Buenos Aires Folk

Simplicity:

It opens, the gate to the garden

with the docility of a page
that frequent devotion questions
and inside, my gaze
has no need to fix on objects
that already exist, exact, in memory.
I know the customs and souls
and that dialect of allusions
that every human gathering goes weaving.
I've no need to speak
nor claim false privilege;
they know me well who surround me here,
know well my afflictions and weakness.
This is to reach the highest thing,
that Heaven perhaps will grant us:
not admiration or victory
but simply to be accepted
as part of an undeniable Reality,
like stones and trees. 

Poem by Jorge Luis Borges.

This is one of the poems I love from the one and only poet from Buenos Aires, Argentina: Jorge Luis Borges.

Poems are art in words, Fashion is Art in clothes and Style is the Art on Us... For this lovely afternoon at home I decided to bring on some folk inspiration from "gauchos" to an edgy medieval with high heels gladiators.
