these impenetrable days
this valley of eyes---
these bones too small for
the earth to dare to eat
this shadow
that was a dream
that was a face in a tearful of mothers twisted
like throatful trees
in the dark
in a juice without lips, singing
lullabies, one by one
these nights of dead children
///
estes dias impenetáveis
este vale de olhos---
estes ossos pequenos demais para
que a terra ouse comer
esta sombra
que foi sonho
que foi rosto numa lacrimosa de mães retorcidas
como árvores sem garganta
no escuro
num sumo sem lábios, que canta
para ninar, um por um
estas noites de crianças mortas

POR ACASO, O UNIVERSO É TÃO VIRTUAL QUE ATÉ PARECE QUE EXISTE

Everything is illusion
In various rainbow colors
Everything is truth without a title
Or a lie in slum clothing
Everything is madness or death my btother
Everything is poorly born life
Until it is extinguished
///
Tudo é ilusão
Em cores várias de arco-íris
Tudo é verdade sem título
Ou mentira em traje de favela
Tudo é insensatez ou morte meu irmão
Tudo é vida mal parida
Enquanto não se apaga

a monotonia
repete-se
dia após dia
---pelo menos---
que haja
*metamorphoses*
do corpo
para surpreender
a alma acomodada

A recent find, I never thought that these fillets were so good, namely brushed with mayonnaise. What about two mini-braids of almond and pumpkin to close the meal?

egoistically
my mind takes refuge in old age
at the end of life
the idea of health
comfort
and happiness enough
turns into a mere
day-to-day expectation
still breathing
and hoping it's not the last
///
egoisticamente
meu pensamento refugia-se na velhice
no fim da vida
a ideia de saúde
conforto
e felicidade que baste
transforma-se em mera expectativa
do dia-a-dia
respirar ainda
e desejar que não seja o último
