COMMERCE STREET

COMMERCE STREET
I'm a poet of the lean city
of the city that doesn't
walk
I'm of this flatness
I'm from the lives' violence
poet of the city that sinks houses
and people
I'm from the whore city that only has
surface

everyday I wake up naked and narrow
like a commerce street

///

RUA DO COMÉRCIO

Sou poeta da cidade magra
da cidade que não
caminha
sou dessa planicidade
sou da violência das vidas
poeta da cidade que afunda casas
e pessoas
sou da puta da cidade que só tem
superfície

amanheço todo o dia despida e estreita
como uma rua do comércio

by Vera Lúcia de OLIVEIRA (Brazilian poet, literature professor in Italy, where she lives, writes in Portuguese and Italian), in "GEOGRAFIE D'OMBRA" / "GEOGARFIAS DE SOMBRA", Fonèma, Venezia, 1989

(English translated by Armando TABORDA, 2019)
