Yusef Komunyakaa, “Nighttime Begins with a Line by Pablo Neruda”

So my body went on growing, by night,
went on pleading & singing to the earth
I was born to be woven back into Love,
let me see if I can’t sink my roots
deeper into you, your minerals & water,
your leaf rot & gold, your telling…

I love Pablo Neruda so much. He stole my heart with the line ” I love you as certain dark things are to be loved, in secret between the shadow and the soul.” He will forever be one of my favorite poets.
