THE NIGHT' SUN

THE NIGHT' SUN
Nobody says
that the sun illuminates the facades of buildings
at night
or that the nocturnal light
is as precious as the day

who watches its intrusion through the windows
or escape under doors
quietly stay
awake
waiting for the dream that turns the light off.

///

O SOL DA NOITE

Ninguém diz
que o sol ilumina as fachadas dos prédios
à noite
nem que a luz nocturna
é tão preciosa como o dia

quem a vê a devassar janelas
ou a fugir por debaixo das portas
fica tranquilamente
acordado
à espera que o sonho a apague.

Interesting picture; like the poem, but “ trample of windows “ sounds odd.

Thanks, Steve! "trample of windows" was replaced by "intrusion through the windows"!
