The Reincarnation Of Pablo Neruda

The Reincarnation Of Pablo Neruda

Pablo, I want more than your words dripping
down from snow and ice capped heights,
more than a lake to irrigate your comrades'

crops. Today I could geneticly engineer us a child
with all your best attributes: divine elequoence
of word; a humble heart that knows:

a birds' species by its talons, the flavor
of grain eaten by the commoners and how
to reflect back to them, images of fields

still fresh in their eyes. Please, return to me
as our son. You died when I was 6 and needed
another 33 years to garner the wisdom to pine

for you. Let us build a river to flow through us
and nourish the next flowered field.

thanks. If you are a Neruda fan than several of the lines have a special significance. Wink

I saw the movie Il Postino, in which Neruda helps a lovestruck postman woo a gorgeous fiery woman. What irked me to distraction was that this postman ends up seeming to be more interested in Neruda than in this raven-haired hottie, and wonderful though Pablo may have been, that is just wrong on so many levels lol.
