Neruda de Amor: Last Lines in Flux I-XV In your life I see everything that lives— like a puma in the barrens of night, I find everything waiting there: my place, a land of kisses and volcanoes of blood, coronations of rock and scald; your form through that external crystalline light, carving a seared and illumined road through my heart; (Let me steer like a ship through your name, and rest in anchor.) the earth that makes carnations rise and makes them bloom and is nothing, in shadow and flimmers of white. The earth will continue to live till the sun rises and lightning flames surround you, for we make the only permanent tenderness from craggy bread, your language and aroma— And I stop, wounded by the wandering scent.
