Pablo Neruda - TrianglesPablo Neruda - Triangles
Work rating: Medium


Three triangles of birds crossed   Over the enormous ocean which extended   In winter like a green beast.   Everything just lay there, the silence,   The unfolding gray, the heavy light   Of space, some land now and then.   Over everything there was passing   A flight   And another flight   Of dark birds, winter bodies   Trembling triangles   Whose wings,   Frantically flapping, hardly   Can carry the gray cold, the desolate days   From one place to another   Along the coast of Chile.   I am here while from one sky to another   The trembling of the migratory birds   Leaves me sunk inside myself, inside my own matter   Like an everlasting well   Dug by an immovable spiral.   Now they have disappeared   Black feathers of the sea   Iron birds   From steep slopes and rock piles   Now at noon   I am in front of emptiness. It’s a winter   Space stretched out   And the sea has put   Over its blue face   A bitter mask.
