DRAGONFLIES MIGRATION (*)

DRAGONFLIES MIGRATION (*)
As long as your name lives in my welcoming mornings
I resist to lichens
I mix fires
I reserve nectars
I shine as a fish shoal in motion
As long as your name lives in my welcoming mornings
I arrest myself to the grindings
I wake up on the rocks
I drink the jealousy and the wind
I go down the banks of cold steppes
As long as your name lives in my welcoming mornings
I dodge the fear of waking up
I gather fig and persimmon trees
I foresee faces long forgotten
I realize branches
When your love lies on other mornings
other than mine
I will return to goodbyes with strangers
I will migrate in dragonflies
Freshly whitewashed, I will drink the journeys of deceptions
and I will forget the pulps, deserts and mists

A MIGRAÇÃO DAS LIBÉLULAS (*)

Enquanto o teu nome morar nas manhãs que me acolhem
Resisto aos líquenes
Misturo fogos
Reservo seivas
Brilho cardume ofício
Enquanto o teu nome morar nas manhãs que me acolhem
Prendo-me às moagens
Acordo nas pedras
Bebo o ciúme e a ventania
Desço as margens de estepes frias
Enquanto o teu nome morar nas manhãs que me acolhem
Esquivo-me ao receio de acordar
Reúno figueiras e diospiros
Antevejo rostos tão esquecidos
Fabrico galhos
Quando o teu nome se deitar noutras manhãs
que não as minhas
voltarei às despedidas com estranhos
migrarei em libélulas
Caiada de fresco, beberei as viagens dos enganos
e esquecerei as polpas os desertos e as brumas
