The Sea laps
with determined tongue,
longing to take the
Poet’s skeleton toes
into her scorned, throatless
mouth.
Grain by grain
the body
surrenders.
One day,
or night,
he will ride her,
all of his fears of
intimacy
forgotten.

Isla Negra is the coastal resting place of

is the picture also from Isla Negra?
ReplyDeleteYes...the picture is of Neruda's grave...just feet from the sea. I visited Isla Negra during a trip to Chile to teach a course in ecoagriculture. Truly an enchanting place.
