EPITHALAMIUM by Pablo Neruda

Do you remember when
in winter 
we reached the island? 
The sea raised toward us 
a crown of cold. 
On the walls the climbing vines 
murmured letting 
dark leaves fall 
as we passed. 
You too were a little leaf 
that trembled on my chest. 
Life's wind put you there. 
At first I did not see you: I did not know 
that you were walking with me, 
until your roots 
pierced my chest, 
joined the threads of my blood, 
spoke through my mouth, 
flourished with me. 
Thus was your inadvertent presence, 
invisible leaf or branch, 
and suddenly my heart 
was filled with fruits and sounds.
