Don't Go Far Off





Don't go far off, not even for a day, because --

because -- I don't know how to say it: a day is long

and I will be waiting for you, as in an empty station

when the trains are parked off somewhere else, asleep.



Don't leave me, even for an hour, because

then the little drops of anguish will all run together,

the smoke that roams looking for a home will drift

into me, choking my lost heart.



Oh, may your silhouette never dissolve on the beach;

may your eyelids never flutter into the empty distance.

Don't leave me for a second, my dearest,



because in that moment you'll have gone so far

I'll wander mazily over all the earth, asking,

Will you come back? Will you leave me here, dying?



-pablo neruda




---------------






I wonder where Neruda came up with lines like:

then the little drops of anguish will all run together,

the smoke that roams looking for a home will drift

into me, choking my lost heart.





When I read that, I kind of did a double take and read it again, just to savor it.
