Pablo Neruda – Poetry

 

Youth

 

 

Acid and sword blade: the fragrance

of plum in the pathways:

tooth’s sweetmeat of kisses,

power and spilth on the fingers,

the yielding erotic of pulps,

hayricks and threshing floors, clandestine

recesses that tempt through the vastness of houses;

bolsters asleep in the past, the bitter green valley,

seen from above, from the glasses’ concealment;

and drenching and flaring by turns, adolescence

like a lamp overturned in the rain.
