Hello.

2008-07-07T20:17:00.000-04:00

-There is something dense, at one, stuck in the ground of being

-repeats its number, it's redundant signal.

-As one notes the touch of time on stones

-in its delicate matter there is the scent of age

-and the water the sea brings, of and dream

-Hay algo denso, unido, sentado en el fondo,

-repitiendo su nùmero, su señal idèntica.

-Como se nota que las piedras han tocado el tiempo

-en su fina materia hay olor a edad

-y el agua que trae el mar, de sal y sueño.

Pablo Neruda
