ENQUANTO OS CROMOSSOMAS SE MOVEREM DE CORPO EM CORPO A NOSSA ETERNIDADE ESTÁ ASSEGURADA by Armando TABORDA, 2024

love of bodies is the sea swell gentle or stormy frantic or slow until being an orgasm from the surf /// o amor dos corpos é ondulação de mar suave ou tempestuosa frenética ou lenta até ser orgasmo da rebentação /// El amor de los cuerpos es el oleaje Del Mar suave o tormentoso, frenético o lento, hasta que sea un orgasmo en las olas. by Armando TABORDA, 2024 (Spanish translated by Manuel de DIEGO FLORES) (photograph taken from Internet, free download)

This old photo studio is astonishing: look at the almost mystic luminosity of my aunt, in contrast with the condescendence of my uncle's half-smile. Fantastic, don't you agree? (photo courtesy by Maria Amélia TABORDA)

on the other side of the sea the ocean gives it space and life on the other side of life the death remains forever as if there was nothing /// do outro lado do mar o oceano dá-lhe espaço e vida do outro lado da vida a morte fica para sempre como se nada fosse by Armando TABORDA, 2024

I don't believe she married him Because he was in the fish business Remarked Lois, which quieted The ensemble some From upstairs, an old Leonard Cohen tune It was unfortunate the attorney general was involved, If at a distance Lois was the sister of the AG Her husband puffy and long on anecdotes The banker of a bank that defaulted In the spacious woodlot behind the house Fireflies began to glitter Then flying squirrels visiting bird feeders A government vehicle sidled under a linden He should have joined the Coast Guard As his mother had wished. /// INTERLÚDIO Não acredito que ela se casou Porque ele estava no negócio do peixe Comentou Lois, o que acalmou O grupo Lá em cima, uma antiga música de Leonard Cohen Foi pena que o procurador-geral se tivesse envolvido, Mesmo à disância Lois era irmã do PG E o seu marido gordo e ansioso por anedotas Banqueiro de um banco em incumprimento No espaçoso bosque atrás da casa Pirilampos começaram a brilhar Depois os esquilos voadores visitaram os comedouros de pássaros Um veículo do governo ao lado por baixo da tília Ele poderia ter ingressado na Guarda Costeira Se a sua mãe quisesse. by Robert VANDERMOLEM, in "SKIN", Milkweed Editions, 2021 (Portuguese translated by Armando TABORDA, 2024) (photograph taken from Internet - published under the fair use doctrine for noncommercial cultural purposes)

comes from the rest of my life looking at you this silence of mine aside you comes from the singleness of only one life to love my body that trembles slightly /// vem do resto da vida te olhando este meu silêncio à tua beira vem do pouco duma só vida para amar o meu corpo que de leve estremece by Mar BECKER, at her Facebook page, 02.01.2024 (English translated, by Armando TABORDA, 2024) (background photograph, edited by A.
