Sonnet 20 of 100 My ugly love, you’re a messy chestnut. My beauty, you are as pretty as the wind. Ugly: your mouth is big enough for two mouths. Beauty: your kisses are as fresh as new melons. Ugly: where DID you hide your breasts? They’re meager, two little scoops of wheat. I’d much rather see two moons across your chest, two huge proud towers. Ugly: not even the sea contains things like your toenails. Beauty: flower by flower, star by star, wave by wave, Love, I’ve made an inventory of your body: My ugly one, I love you for your waist of gold; my beauty, for the wrinkle on your forehead My Love: I love you for your clarity, your dark. Pablo Neruda, translated by Stephen Tapscott
