I EXPLAIN A FEW THINGS

You will ask: ‘And where are the lilacs?

And the metaphysics covered with poppies?

And the rain that often beat down

filling its words

with holes and birds.’

 

To you I am going to tell all that happened to me.

 

I lived in a quarter

in Madrid, with bells

with clocks, with trees.

 

From there could be seen

the dry face of Castille

like a sea of leather.

My house was named

the house of the flowers, because everywhere

geraniums exploded: it was

a beautiful house

with dogs and little children.

Raúl, you agree?

You agree, Rafael?

Federico, you agree

beneath the earth,

you agree about my house with balconies where

the light of June drowned flowers in your mouth?

 

Pablo Neruda
