EVE

EVE
To be a wave,
to run foamy fingers on the sand
and undo the castles you sow
around your body.
Afterwards, just to be the wind that surrounds you.

///

VÉSPERA

Ser onda,
correr dedos de espuma sobre a areia
e desfazer os castelos que semeias
à volta do teu corpo.
Depois, ser apenas o vento que o rodeia.

by João NÚNCIO (*) (1938-2006), in "LUNAÇÕES ÍNTIMAS", by Ulmeiro Editores, 1996

(cover's photograph, "DUNE" (Dune), bronze sculpture, by J. NÚNCIO)

(English translated by Armando TABORDA, 2021)

(*) José NÚNCIO, Coronel do Exército reformado, meu camarada de armas e grande amigo, morreu prematuramente. Depois de se reformar tornou-se um grande escultor de renome internacional.

Espírito inquieto e muito sensível, sempre escreveu, mas só publicou um livro em vida, "LUNAÇÕES ÍNTIMAS" (Intimate Lunations), por mim incentivado.

Frequentemente apelidava-me de "Poeta de Síntese", mas também ele soube deduzir as fórmulas dos sentimentos e emoções da vida, com conteúdo, modernidade e beleza.

///

José NÚNCIO, Army Colonel retired, my comrade of arms and great friend, died prematurely. After retirement, he became an internationally well known and most appreciated sculptor.

With a restless and very sensitive mind, he always wrote, but published only a single book in his lifetime, "LUNAÇÕES ÍNTIMAS" (Intimate Lunations), encouraged by me.

Very often he called me a "Synthesis Poet", but he also knew how to deduce the short formulas upon feelings and life sensations, with content, modernity and beauty.
