TOMBSTONE

TOMBSTONE
Without the guise of a signal
or a bird with a severed wing
in the vastness of blue
with no discernible outlines
of a rock as my house
far to the south
in the enticing waves
that the tide always
empties in unusual shines
and rhythms
with ill-fated trails
the dawn marked on me
a map of everything - and nothing.

///

LÁPIDE

Sem roupagem de sinal
ou ave com decepada asa
na imensidão do azul
sem contornos defeníveis
de um farlhão minha casa
bem ao sul nas ondas
apetecíveis que a maré
sempre vasa em brilhos
e ritmos desusados
vincou-me a madrugada
com trilhos malfadados
um mapa de tudo - e nada.
