BURIAL UNDER SUN

BURIAL UNDER SUN
The sea's quietness in that look
She was like a morning
would have the youth of a mineral
Sometimes walked the streets
and the streets one by one were real
She was the hope's top: eternalizing
each of the things she touched
But today all is like a September´s fruit
oh my garden subject to winter-time
The dawn of cholera rises
I don't know the age of love anymore
I only have to reap the punishment grapes
I'm crazy about thirst
I walk through the sand give me
a burial under sun an water burial

///

ENTERRO SOB O SOL

Era a calma do mar naquele olhar
Ela era semelhante a uma manhã
teria a juventude de um mineral
Passeava por vezes pelas ruas
e as ruas uma a uma eram reais
Era o cume da esperança: eternizava
cada uma das coisas que tocava
Mas hoje é tudo como um fruto de setembro
ó meu jardim sujeito à invernia
A aurora da cólera desponta
Já não sei da idade do amor
Só me resta colher as uvas do castigo
Sou um alucinado pela sede
Caminho pela areia dêem-me um
enterro sob o sol enterro de água

by Ruy BELO (1933-1978), in "TRANSPORTE NO TEMPO", Assírio & Alvim, 2017
