Why Do You Talk
Nobody mourns against the wall
VERTIGO
The shadow of the gnome isn't imagined
I Shall Be Released
A farm in the middle of the city - 7
Everything will become white when I die
Off limits
White Horse
Contemplation
A farm in the middle of the city - 8
ASYMMETRIES
The Queen
São Gabriel Arcanjo
"GIFTWARES" (1995)
There is always a chance
Anniversary cake of the confraternization lunch of…
Diary
My stone's ear
The morning seen from an hotel room balcony
Neurons
LOVING SMILE - 43
The sun isn't for everyone
A farm in the middle of the city - 6
El Corte Inglés
Gate
Bird
Suggestion
A farm in the middle of the city - 5
The pebbles today warm the cactus
Portuguese fascism: pictures and videos
The Alcântara Dock seems like a chicken coop
A farm in the middle of the city - 4
A farm in the middle of the city - 3
A farm in the middle of the city - 2
Buttress
A Farm in the Middle of the City - 1
A BOWL OF SOUP
Piers of Gas in the Space
Beyond all the opulence
Who throws the first stone?
Hug me
Who stole the Easter eggs?

MY MODEST MIRROR


This sheet of paper
is my modest mirror
where I expose a picture
undressed of my skin
for another that doesn't reveal
my extirpated body:
- Who am I?...Who is that
where I concentrate my watch!?
The mirror where I am invented
turned inside out
encourages this intent
of writing what I don't think
- to be someone who I don't know,
doesn't know me, not even see
when, remembering what I forget,
I write...and nobody reads.
///
É MEU ESPELHO EM RECATO
É meu espelho em recato
esta folha de papel
e nela exponho um retrato
em que dispo a minha pele
por outra que não revele
este corpo que desventro:
- Quem sou eu?... Quem é aquele
em que tanto o olhar concentro!?
O espelho que me invento
revirado do avesso
estimula este intento
de escrever o que não penso
- ser alguém que não conheço,
não me conhece, nem vê
quando, lembrando o que esqueço,
eu escrevo...e ninguém lê.
