The Book of Questions #XXI


Pablo Neruda
translated from the Spanish by William O'Daly

And when light was forged
did it happen in Venezuela?

Where is the center of the sea?
Why do waves never go there?

Is it true that the meteor
was a dove of amethyst?

Am I allowed to ask my book
whether it's true I wrote it?
