SPECIAL DELIVERY

SPECIAL DELIVERY
Overnight the ground
seems not to have moved,
the sun that was ablood
when it went to bed
has taken a shower,
the white cat on top of the fence
will not stay where he slept
and on the birdbath
sits the brown bird
who writes me a letter
each morning
from someone I have not
heard from in years.
Verily, verily
the news is good.

ENTREGA ESPECIAL

Durante a noite o chão
parece não se ter movido,
o sol que era de sangue
quando se deitou
tomou um duche,
o gato branco em cima da sebe
não ficará onde dormiu
e no bebedouro dos pássaros
senta-se o pássaro castanho
que me escreve uma carta
todas as manhãs
de alguém de quem não ouço
falar há anos.
Em verdade, em verdade,
as notícias são boas.

by Mary RUEFLE (b.1952), American poet, in "THE POETRY REVIEW", Volume 109:3, Summer 2019

(Portuguese translated by Armando TABORDA, 2019)
