Pablo Neruda / Jeremy Mann | Sonnet XXVII

Nuda sei semplice come una delle tue mani,

liscia, terrestre, minima, rotonda, trasparente,

hai linee di luna, strade di mela,

nuda sei sottile come il grano nudo.

Naked, you are simple as one of your hands,

Smooth, earthy, small, transparent, round:

You have moonlines, applepathways:

Naked, you are slender as a naked grain of wheat.
