It is common to think of language as an instrument or a communication tool. It is also common not to realize that, within this perspective, language becomes a repetition, a slogan, a formula, and a semblance of knowledge that limits questioning and all effort in thinking. This work is at a distance from language as an instrument and inhabits the paths in which thinking is creating a new language that does not allow itself to be subjected, as it is a constant experimentation-emancipation. Poetry enables and creates new languages, true lives, and it cares, guards, and protects things in their being, in a spirituality that is intimately related to the nature and freedom of the soul. From this place, the confidence of the Enlightenment is questioned, and the logical-analytical truth is attacked, that of technique and science which hardly recognizes that the germ of words beats within what happens to us, as well as the sound of silence, which allows us to listen to what the world says in its movement. To inhabit poetically is to shape oneself. It means creating a world that gives shelter and meaning to existence; it means creating a symbolic horizon from which humans interpret themselves and sketch their possibilities of being. This is what, with Heidegger, we will call essential creation, and this creation is embodied in language. It is, as indicated by Heidegger (1994), to build and, consequently, to inhabit.

Keywords : language; communication; poetry; thinking; creating; experimentation.
