Cantalao · El Quisco

Cantalao is on top

there is a promontory that separates it from the sea

stony land of wide horizon

in the dry coastal ochre of the central coastline

the blue and green sea five steps away

roaring

the raging waves in the only ear

on the edge of a cliff with echoic sound.

Cantalao was the dream of the poet

there is his curved-roofed cabin

there is his absorbed look on a boat

that sails sounding its sirens towards the port of San Antonio

in the lonely winter setting

there is the boy Neftalí

returning to the land that saw him grow and grow as a poet.

This is the village that tested humanity

so that the arts and sciences

could progress in correspondence and value.
