ON MOTHER'S BIRTHDAY

ON MOTHER'S BIRTHDAY
Moyther
I know
I still hurts you
like some strange beast
on some body's part

As if, in secret
you had never given me birth
completely.

My rebellion
a dull affliction
in your head.

Translucent
in me
only the morning light.

And sometimes
as you know
neither this remains,
nor is enough.

///

NO ANIVERSÁRIO DA MÃE

Mãe
eu sei
que ainda te doo
como um bicho esquisito
nalguma parte do corpo

Como se, em segredo
nunca me tivesses parido
completamente.

A minha rebeldia
uma aflição opaca
na tua cabeça.

Em mim
translúcida
apenas a luz da manhã.

E por vezes
como sabes
nem isso sobra,
nem isso basta.

by Nuno F SILVA, in "LINGUAGEM DO ABANDONO", 2018
