“Who sings in the deepest water in the abandoned lagoon?”
—Pablo Neruda
Answering Neruda
Who is the one who
sings my dreams here
in the velvet shade of
the river’s guardians ?
Deepest secrets are told here.
Water, the mother of us all,
in league with
the
abandoned voice of this
lagoon’s ministry.

Thanks, Janet. Did you notice that the words in his quoted line form the first word of each of my lines? Always curious to know if readers notice such things…

I’m sorry, I didn’t. I think it takes a poet to notice that type of detail ~ ~ ~ That does explain, though, the line breaks in the last verse!
