there are lots of migrants out there who starve faster than if they are stayed in their countries meanwhile others drown on the crossing their bodies first sink then float up swallen covered with salty blisters which burst stinking like soap bubbles blown by choldren /// há por aí muito migrante que morre de fome mais depressa do que se tivesse ficado no seu país entretanto há outros que se afogam na travessia os corpos primeiro afundam-se depois emergem inchados cobertos de pústulas salgadas que rebentam fétidas como bolas de sabão sopradas por crianças by Armando TABORDA, 2026 (photo taken from daily press)

from the classics to the post-modernists many poets weaved praises to the romantic beauty of the moonlight but to be honest let's just say that moonlight is nothing more than the mockery with which the moon watches us while moves around /// dos clássicos aos pós-modernos muitos poetas teceram laudações à beleza romântica do luar mas em boa verdade diga-se que o luar não passa do escárnio com que a lua nos olha enquanto circula à nossa volta by Armando TABORDA, 2026

on the ceramic plate we leave the house keys the car keys the sunglasses our envies our vanities and the everyday emptiness so that we always know where they are /// no prato de cerâmica deixamos as chaves de casa do carro os óculos de sol as invejas as vaidades e as vacuidades de todos os dias para sabermos sempre onder estão by Armando TABORDA, 2026
