Explore "Cotapos says your laughter drops" by Pablo Neruda on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Cotapos says your laughter drops like a hawk from a stony tower. It's true: daughter of the sky, you slit the world and its green leaves, with one bolt of your lightning: it falls, it thunders: the tongues of the dew, the waters of a diamond, the light with its bees leap. And there where a long-bearded silence had lived, little bombs of light explode, the sun and the stars, down comes the sky, with its thick-shadowed night, bells and carnations glow in the full moon, the saddlemakers' horses gallop.
Because you are small as you are, let it rip: let the meteor of your laughter fly: electrify the natural names of things!
