Thought / Pensamento

But we can't

avoid the dew

when evening falls -

thought is like a landing.

Again and again at

the same point,

being different.

What has changed

in the mean-
time between a verse and

another, what can I

say of your

eyes?

PENSAMENTO

Mas não podemos

evitar

o sereno

quando a tarde cai –

o pensamento é como um pouso.

De novo e sempre

no mesmo ponto,

sendo diferente.

O que mudou nesse meio-

tempo entre um verso e

outro, que posso Eu

dizer de seus

olhos?

Melancholia

Waiting for the rain /
  of meteorites /

The Truth nº 40

Lauro Marques

The truth, my friends,

the truth. 

We are everybody determined

in our impossible dream

of miracles and roses… 

Happiness and breeding! 

Even when the sound of the hammer

replaces the beating of the bells!

Not the reverse. 

This universe will never be still.

And nothing, and passes, and always

And nothing, and passes, and always

a hawk in my wake

(in myself)

and nothing, and always, and passes

apart from

something in the streets,

screams almost-sub-human heard >>>>     sssignal

of silence in the streets after a police siren or ambulance

and as if it were today

and if it were

but today, always

and nothing

and far and always

and outside


Cars sliding on a wet track after half past midnight

or later

and then communicate it

and then I wouldn't tell you


What explanation? Say,

there isn't

It's two thirty in the morning and

there isn't

There will not also be

tomorrow

or after

because there isn't

(the only thing to do is wait to read

obituaries by

afternoon.)

Poema em vermelho

Eu quis escrever um poema em vermelho com todas as

qualidades que o vermelho tem: a textura, a luz, o som, a urgência e a intensidade  que o vermelho tem
Porque estou cansado de poemas azuis ou amarelos Eu quis escrever um poema em vermelho.




Red Poem

I wanted to write a poem in red
with all the qualities that red has:
texture, light, sound, urgency and intensity that red has


Because I'm tired of  blue poems or yellow
I wanted to write a poem in red.
