this photo by Armando Taborda

despair is the hope we have left
we close our eyes and shake our shoulders
at what surrounds us
only what matters remains in our memory
until it's extinguished
at the dawn of our uselessness

///

o desespero é a esperança que nos resta
vamos fechando os olhos e sacudindo os ombros
ao que nos rodeia
só o que interessa nos fica na memória
até que se apague
no despontar da nossa inutilidade

by Armando TABORDA, 2024

Ah
but the dawn of our uselessness
is sometimes an irrepressibly beautiful day
bubbbling with laughter
and comradeship
sitting with Pessoa and Adrienne and Maria
outside the Cafe a Brasiliera
