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?

Perhaps with Neruda's help all our Spanish can be wonderful again

It has the same meaning in Spanish, but for some reason, it makes so much more sense in my mind in Spanish.

That is a tremendous compliment...what little Spanish I know is terrible so I had to use Babelfish to check and fix things as best I could. I hope it's not too far off. I don't know how to break up the lines in the Spanish version to create the poem reasonably well 
Out of respect for Neruda and his Book of Questions, I thought the poem deserved a decent Spanish language version!
Thanks for reading my friend.

It's all good, I still have to look up words from time to time myself. I think that your putting in the effort to translate it in the first place is commendable. As far as line breaks go, I think they function about the same as they would in English, so something like this:
"QuΓ© viene despuΓ©s es una clase de respuesta, un
desenrollamiento del sonido"
etc.
I could be wrong, though.
