I haven't written in a long time
cause I have nothing to say
I'm increasingly close to the silence
which forces us to accept nothingness
before
and after life
///
há muito que não escrevo
porque nada tenho para dizer
estou cada vez mais próximo do silêncio
que nos obriga a aceitar o nada
antes
e depois da vida

one of me calls
but the other hesitates
one waits for the night
the other, the morning
and they cross in the passage, and one looks
but the other looks away
and because I stayed in the middle, and everything I surrender
leads me
and in one I want to find words
but in the other I avoid them
in the other, this fear of hurting with my voice
#
love has made my words
too fragile
and now I fear I might kill them by whispering them
#
my life: kidnapped by a howl longer than it
#
to miss the sea is ultimately to discover it
there are things that are best known in longing
#
my desire, to write a book that even when motionless, can be seen falling
#
for a long time an unborn book has been searching for me

I love in this body that hangs,
undecided between bird and fall

amo neste corpo que pende,
indeciso entre pássaro e queda
