TO YOU

By the flurries of a continuum line that's life,
In the love lapels in navigation and in the impossible checkmate,
In the promise slowness and other aprils,
(the tireless alchemy of gestures that I still remember of you)
I fill the dream in a lost milky balloon,
I reopen the old time pearls,
I model the efficencies,
And I slowly die behind the stage,
Lacerating myself.

///

PARA TI

Nos sobressaltos de uma linha em continuum que é a vida,
Nas lapelas de amores na navegação e no impossível mate,
Na lentidão de promessa e outros abris,
(infatigável a alquimia dos gestos que ainda te recordo)
Preencho o sonho num balão lácteo perdido,
Reabro as pérolas de antigamente,
E devagarinho morro por detrás da boca de cena,
Rasgo-me.
