A Literary Mash-Up?

Rob Brezsny
Pablo Neruda
Rob Brezsny chooses Pablo Neruda to fuse his words with here:
When I hold you, I hold everything: ruby-throated hummingbirds sipping from plum flowers, mangoes ripening in the smoke of burning forests, crones playing in the foamy sand at low tide, shocked waterfalls gracing new housing developments, volcanoes drinking in the fragrance of the stars. In your eyes I see everything that lives.
I say:
Why should mash-ups be solely reserved for the musical world when collaboration of this sort can be an art form in any medium?
DThis work makes me long for the original Neruda text - does anyone have any idea which passage Mr Brezsny has chosen?
Did you know that Pablo only wrote in green ink? He believed it to be the colour of hope (Esperanza).
