All the places that could have been, you and me. [entries|friends|calendar] earwiggg [ userinfo | livejournal userinfo ] [ calendar | livejournal calendar ]

[12 Nov 2005|12:02am] Naked you are simple as one of your hands; Smooth, earthy, small, transparent, round. You've moon-lines, apple pathways Naked you are slender as a naked grain of wheat. Naked you are blue as a night in Cuba; You've vines and stars in your hair. Naked you are spacious and yellow As summer in a golden church. Naked you are tiny as one of your nails; Curved, subtle, rosy, till the day is born And you withdraw to the underground world. As if down a long tunnel of clothing and of chores; Your clear light dims, gets dressed, drops its leaves, And becomes a naked hand again. -Pablo Neruda. 9 comments|post comment
