I take the floor (25) - Tomo a palavra (25)

Monday April 14, 2008 at 04:06PM

White rumours crack in the afternoon's hot

perch as birds on the barbed wire

tear and spill sperm of blood's grass on the parched soil

stems grow up and dance by nightfall

in the winds' blowing that bring clouds

asphyxiating

like feline's claws in the throat.

Angola, 1966-1968
Angola, 1966-1968

Rumores brancos estalam no calor da tarde

poisam como pássaros em arame farpado

rasgam-se e vertem sémen de capim de sangue no ressequido do solo

crescem hastes que bailam ao anoitecer

no sopro de ventos que trazem nuvens

asfixiantes

como garras de felino na garganta.

In "Manual do Desperdício", Ceres Editora, 1994
