I take the floor (61) - Tomo a palavra (61)

MY BODY


In the body

the soul

dances

and in the soul

the body

falls asleep

tired of

so much

movement

without meaning.

MY ROOM


Time goes by.


I desire a new impulse in the writing' silence

for everything look in motion


and don't die


the night turns off the blue sky

a smile controls the indecisive idea

body vibrates from one unexpected word

dream crawls night within and perfumes the stiff magnolia at my room' solitude


where I fall asleep.


Time goes by.


Morning illuminates its track.

I take the floor (62) - Tomo a palavra (62)

SILENCE

One can hear a far off

outcry

closer silence increases from the immediate

silence



it doesn't matter if the sound is universal lament

or God's roar upon imperfect landscape

or Valkyries' gallop into the bohemian dawn



the outcry doesn't justify the distance from where it comes



perishable

deteriorates

in silence.

I take the floor (63) - Tomo a palavra (63)

Roads of my country

drive me back to dreams where I grew up

before I die

blind

from the same unbearable

light.

Hunting Ground of Mafra, main road (6)
Hunting Ground of Mafra, main…

Estradas do meu país

levem-me de volta aos sonhos onde cresci

antes que morra

cego

da mesma insustentável

luz.

I take the floor (64) - Tomo a palavra (64)

Slow trembling

sparse through the senses

of my body

vibration without roots

neither soul

nor reason

lasts long breath

rhythmic

in the dream of my sleeping body.

I am getting older in the city (3)
I am getting older in the city…

Tremor lento

esparso no corpo

de meus sentidos

vibração sem raízes

nem alma

nem razão

que perdura sopro cadenciado

no sonho de meu corpo

adormecido.
