...tiro mis tristes redes a tus ojos oceánicos.

A promise

 

Inclinado en las tardes... tiro mis tristes redes a tus ojos oceánicos.

Allí se estira y arde en la más alta hoguera mi soledad que da vueltas los brazos como un náufrago.

Hago rojas señales sobre tus ojos ausentes que olean como el mar a la orilla de un faro.

Solo guardas tinieblas, hembra distante y mía, de tu mirada emerge a veces la costa del espanto.

Inclinado en las tardes echo mis tristes redes a ese mar que sacude tus ojos oceánicos.

Los pájaros nocturnos picotean las primeras estrellas que centellean como mi alma cuando te amo.

Galopa la noche en su yegua sombría desparramando espigas azules sobre el campo.

 

Poema siete. Autor: Pablo Neruda. "Veinte poemas de amor y una canción desesperada", 1924. Pablo Neruda.

 

Paco Ibáñez - Inclinado En Las Tardes Tiro Mis Tristes Redes

 

Paco Ibáñez is a Valencian singer-songwriter. In 1977, he released an album with the Cuarteto Cedrón, which sets to music poems by Pablo Neruda from his book "Veinte poemas de amor y una canción desesperada," written in 1924. The A-side features poems by Neruda, and the B-side features songs by the Cuarteto Cedrón with poems by Raúl González Tuñón, an Argentine poet. Pablo Neruda was a famous Chilean poet, and his literary talent was honored by the Swedish Academy in 1971 with the Nobel Prize in Literature. On September 11, 1973, the military uprising of Augusto Pinochet took place in Chile, possibly one of the cruelest and most terrifying military dictatorships. At the head of this military uprising and coup was a terrifying and sinister figure named Augusto Pinochet, a military coup leader and dictator. He was a bloodthirsty, cruel, and despotic military man. Pinochet rose up militarily against the government of Salvador Allende, who had been democratically elected by the Chilean people. This anti-democratic uprising and the horrific violence and repression of Pinochet's military dictatorship worsened Pablo Neruda's health. Eight days after the military uprising, he was admitted to a hospital to recover from a relapse of his illness. Four days later, on September 23rd, twelve days after Pinochet's military uprising, Pablo Neruda died. Evidently, the official version, supported by the Pinochet dictatorship, announced the death of the "illustrious Chilean," citing causes related to the illness he had suffered for years. That was always the official explanation and version of the death of the poet Pablo Neruda. Fifty years later, in 2023, and after lengthy forensic studies, private and personal interviews, recovery and study of written material and other evidence, the commission in charge of the investigation declared its definitive, confirmed conclusions, based on irrefutable and evident data, that Pablo Neruda was murdered by poisoning in the hospital where he was recovering from his illness. The poisoning order was executed and ordered by the Chilean military junta and its criminal dictator, Augusto Pinochet.

.....

Capture the silence at the edge of the net, where the water breathes the unspoken and where the mist hides the unknown. Stillness always yields, casting a net so that water and mist return to you shapes of light. Your nets don't just search for fish; they also explore the silence to understand where you begin and where you end. The net you cast will one day return, sometimes as a flash of light, sometimes as a sound... and sometimes as a name.
