THE LAST BULLET ITINERARY
|
|
|
|
the last bullet
is non-last
has right target
GPS
address
the last bullet
never gets lost
tears the night
it's measure
distance and oppression
silences the cry
of poverty
is in the black skin
and dresses of not
the last bullet
always finds
the living body
of slavery
///
O ITINERÁRIO DA BALA PERDIDA
a bala perdida
não tem nada de perdida
tem alvo certo
GPS
endereço
a bala perdida
nunca se perde
rasga a noite
é medida
distância e opressão
cala o grito
da pobreza
está na pele negra
e se veste de não
a bala perdida
sempre encontra
o corpo vivo
da escravidão

ULTRAMARINE BLUE
|
|
|
|
there are hearts so deep
that
slightly touched
release the body's dreams
and the soul
stay resigned
///
BLEU OUTREMER
il y a des coeurs si profonds
que
légèrement touchés
libèrent les rêves du corps
et l'âme
est conformée
///
AZUL ULTRAMAR
há corações tão profundos
que
levemente tocados
libertam os sonhos do corpo
e a alma
fica conformada

BODY

the beauty of the body in movement
has the dimension of the sky
and the depth of the sea

CORPO
a beleza do corpo em movimento
tem a dimensão do céu
e a profundidade do mar

BIRTH
|
|
|
|
give birth to a son
is to continue the mystery that commands life
if by chance there is a dream
the reality is love between mother
and the new life that soon
begins smiling to her
however
most people think dreams have an end
I'm talking of those that happen here in the sheet of paper
or factually
in the next generation
and the other
and the other
until the explanation of eternity
only dies the dream of someone who has never given birth
or was a father
///
NASCIMENTO
parir um filho
é dar continuidade ao mistério que comanda a vida
se por sorte houver sonho
a realidade é o amor entre a mãe
e a nova vida que cedo começa
a sorrir-lhe
contudo
há quem pense que os sonhos acabam
eu falo dos que acontecem aqui no papel
e de facto
na geração seguinte
e na outra
e na outra
atá à explicação da eternidade
só morre o sonho de quem nunca pariu um filho
ou foi pai

MUSIC AND POETRY
|
|
|
|
there are days without a subject worthy of record
anyway
poetry doesn't need a theme
but to be itself
mystery dream tempo tone music
classic atonal dodecaphonic electronic concrete jazz
music that raises the hair
shives the skin
shakes the mind
until extinguished
in the sleeping
bodies
///
MÚSICA E POESIA
há dias sem assunto digno de registo
de qualquer forma
a poesia não precisa de tema
mas sim de ser ele própria
mistério sonho tempo tom música
clássica atonal dodecafónica electrónica concreta jazz
música que erice os cabelos
arrepie a pele
agite a mente
até se extinguir
nos corpos
adormecidos

FLY-KILLING PAPER
|
|
|
|
as a friend of mine said---
loneliness can be a blessing---
but it can also be suicidal
while suiciders don't commit suicide
they spend their time looking for
a companion on Facebook
which is a fly-killing paper
slimy
and gross
that grabs us and lets us struggle
until the final agony
as if we had our neck stuck
in a medieval pillory
///
PAPEL DE MATAR MOSCAS
como disse uma amiga minha---
a solidão pode ser uma benção---
mas também pode ser suicidária
enquanto os suicidas não se suicidam
passam o tempo à procura
de companhia no Facebook
que é um papel de matar moscas
viscoso
e nojento
agarra-nos e deixa-nos a estrebuchar
até à agonia final
como se tivéssemos o pescoço preso
num pelourinho medieval

the Universe's mystery
lies in the soul
and the soul
traveling through the expanding space
stunned
looks for a port to reach
even if god
permanently anonymous in the space and time
doesn't give her the eternal peace
///
o mistério do Universo
reside na alma
e a alma
de viagem pelo espaço em expansão
aturdida
procura um porto onde chegar
mesmo que deus
permanentemente incógnito no tempo e no espaço
não lhe dê a paz eterna

QUESTION
|
|
|
|
COULD IT BE THAT GOD ALSO CREATED HIMSELF?
Who answers to me?
Not even god?
///
SERÁ QUE DEUS TAMBÉM SE CRIOU A SI PRÓPRIO?
Que me responde?
Nem deus?

SHADOWS
|
|
|
|
The shadow outside me
Disappears
In the setting sun
In the storm
When night falls
The shadow inside me
Awakens
In the insistent memory
Of nameless fear
Always when night falls
///
SOMBRAS
A sombra que está fora de mim
Desparece
No sol poente
Na tempestade
Quando anoitece
A sombra que está dentro de mim
Desperta
Na lembrança insistente
No medo sem nome
E sempre quando anoitece

transversals, the woman
and the word erect
(from)the wall
the silence's clay
together they melt under their feet
the promised land, the salt
the pitchers, the water
they mold
the mutual body
they spell / they dawn
///
transversais, a mulher
e a palavra erguem
(d)o muro
o barro do silêncio
juntas fundem sob os pés
a terra prometida, o sal
os cântaros, a água
moldam
o corpo mútuo
soletram / amanhecem

LIGHT
|
|
|
|
it's impossible to forget the light
it comes into us with closed
blind eyes
not even amnesia erases it
///
LUZ
impossível esquecer a luz
entra em nós de olhos fechados
cegos
nem a amnésia a apaga
