Poemas escritos entre 1983 y 1986. El poeta mira, imagina, evoca la profecía apocalíptica cumplida durante los dos grandes terremotos de 1985. La desastrosa mañana de aquel septiembre de 1985 "la tierra que destruimos se hizo presente". Un fatídico terremoto demostró "hasta qué punto nos aborrece la tierra: / nos ve como insectos / torturadores que la roen por dentro". Su devastadora venganza puso en evidencia que "es el nombre profundo de la muerte". Los sobrevivientes "¿vamos a hacer / otra ciudad, otro país, otra vida? / De otra manera seguirá el derrumbe".

Poemas escritos entre 1979 y 1983, se trata de la bitácora de un sobreviviente de la tempestad que fue el siglo XX. "Todo es efímero y jamás se repite", afirma José Emilio Pacheco para recordarnos la brevedad de nuestro tránsito por la tierra. Asumimos que "el mar se habrá cambiado en desierto / cuando ya no [estemos] aquí para mirarlo y amarlo", pero olvidamos que esa condición fugaz es la que le da un matiz extraordinario a la existencia: "todo es valioso porque todo es irrepetible". Los trabajos del mar reúne poemas escritos entre 1979 y 1983.
