Explore "Goodbye" by Pablo Neruda on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Goodbye. Beneath the fog, your slow boat cruises, transparent as an X ray.
It is mute surrounded by the shadows of shadows.
It goes alone, rises alone, without a route or ferryman.
Goodbye, Manuela Sáenz, pure smuggler, guerrilla. Perhaps your love has compensated the parched loneliness and the empty night.
Your love scattered its wild ashes.
Liberator, you have no tomb.
Take this crown made bloody with your bones.
Receive a kiss of love over the oblivion.
Goodbye, goodbye, Juliet of storms.
Return to the electric prow of your fishing boat.
Aim the net and gun over the sea.
Let your long hair come together with your eyes.
May your heart terrify the waters of death.
May you be witnessed again, parting tides, the ship, propelled by your intrepid love.
