The robin that lives in my yard also lives in me. This is the interior, while the state unwinds across a vast expanse splitting the sky. It is all of it and more; these things were passages of the ligh-born afternoon cascading then expanding like a flange around the day. Yes, the day, staccato in its azure and gold banner; then one learns, as one learns from twilight, how to look through here, and not here, grinning. The wisteria out of my window is waving, up, down, up, it's so far away though, outside. I'm here where the word is opening. There are distances, the whole tonal range blooming, clarity of attenuated looking, a payload delivering meaningful dust. It'a a good day to die. /// ENTERRO A CÉU ABERTO O pisco que vive no meu jardim também mora dentro de mim. Intimamente, enquanto a minha emoção se liberta pela vastidão fendida do céu. Tudo isso e mais; as coisas que foram passando pela tarde nascida da luz em cascata e depois expandindo-se como uma orla à volta do dia. Sim, o dia, destacado na sua bandeira azul e ouro; então aprende-se, se alguém aprende com o crepúsculo, com o olhar daqui, e não aqui, sorrindo. A glicínia fora da minha janela acena, acima, abaixo, acima, mas está tão longe, lá fora. Eu estou aqui onde a palavra é dita. Há lonjuras, toda a gama de tons florindo, claridade de ténue aparência, uma intensa carga de significativa poeira. Está um bom dia para morrer. by Peter GIZZI, North American poet (b.1959), in "THE POETRY REVIEW", Volume 108:2, Summer 2018 (Portuguese translated by Armando TABORDA, 2018) (photo taken from Internet; edited by Armando TABORDA)
