<I>Translated from the Spanish by Christopher Logue</I><BR /><BR />Drunk as drunk on turpentine<BR />From your open kisses,<BR />Your wet body wedged<BR />Between my wet body and the strake<BR />Of our boat that is made of flowers,<BR />Feasted, we guide it - our fingers<BR />Like tallows adorned with yellow metal -<BR />Over the sky's hot rim,<BR />The day's last breath in our sails.<BR /><BR />Pinned by the sun between solstice<BR />And equinox, drowsy and tangled together<BR />We drifted for months and woke<BR />With the bitter taste of land on our lips,<BR />Eyelids all sticky, and we longed for lime<BR />And the sound of a rope<BR />Lowering a bucket down its well. Then,<BR />We came by night to the Fortunate Isles,<BR />And lay like fish<BR />Under the net of our kisses.
<BR /><BR /><B>Pablo Neruda</B></FONT></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/EBE63086-9F59-4BC0-814E-AAFBF173C145/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
