Description
PreguntasWhat comes next is a kind of answer -
an uncoiling of sounds something like marrow
seeping from a voice asleep by the river
where green bands of parrots press
to eat the salty earth - a voice under the roots
of a walking palm, speaking its whispers
about Neruda and how Neruda will
make a voice pregnant with questions
hidden as the nest of the yellow bird
and the life of bones. The mouth goes
numb; a bottle falls. Two horses move away
into mountain shadow, walking the quiet
of the stony slopes. Is there nobody
here? Is there still nobody here?

You're welcome. I'm glad you like it too. It's always nice when a poet likes their own work.

Spanish is gorgeous. While studying the language years ago, I used to periodically dream in it which was incredible. Unfortunately, I've since lost most of it. Neruda and Paz are among my favorite poets. Another fantastic poem, Dave.

Ahh yeah, I can understand why. European Spanish is hard for me to understand even though I'm a Spanish-speaker. It's tougher than old English.. well actually, old English isn't that hard/bad.
You're welcome by the way ^_^

Pablo Neruda is a famous Chilean poet - considered by many to be among the 5 or 10 best of the 20th century. He is the author of The Book of Questions among many others.
