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. by Victor Oliveira MATEUS, on "AQUILO QUE NÃO TEM NOME", Coisas de Ler Edições, Lda., 2018 (English translated by Armando TABORDA, 2025) (image generated by ChatGPT/AI)

"...You wait. Looking closely the verses, the thorny dissertations, the whim of multiple senses were of no use to you. Yes, looking closely, happiness is only this waiting, this serenity between a tree that shelters you and the lightness of a river that waves to you..." by Victor Oliveira MATEUS, extract of the concept poem "RITO MATINAL", Coisas de Ler Edições, Lda., 2018 (English translated by Armando TABORDA, 2025)
