Poetry Journey
Adrian Ernesto Cepeda
Cento poem from Pablo Neruda’s: The Complete Memoirs
Walking against
sealed wombs aware
of the burn, my words
journey, companion you
to recognize my poetry—
she, my guide dark
flare driven love
suffusing of solitudes,
today, my voice accepts
you, wounded sometimes
cheer unchained forest
shatter my secret heart
lights deep in tenderness,
gulfs flames age of lost
love, the mother of
my solitudes, discovery
of thorns in depths,
my anxiety sea grasps
dark wind, impassioned
flight blaze in echoes,
the joy of poetry nets—
my pleasures of night.
