ROOM

ROOM
at night there are lights
that hide loneliness
in the dark room's corners
and amazed to be alone
at the deformation of objects and places daylight occupied
and in the elusive figure of the poet
who describes it and runs away
covered by writing
that lights off
delete
and night remains
fully assumed
no room or poet or things
or nothing
just the night
no lights to hide it
from itself

///

de noite há luzes
que escondem a solidão
nos cantos escusos da sala
e pasmada fica de estar só
na deformação dos objectos e lugares de dia ocupados
e na esquiva imagem do poeta
que a descreve e foge
a coberto da escrita
que o fechar das luzes
apaga
e assim fica a noita
plenamente assumida
sem sala nem poeta nem coisas
nem nada
só noite
nenhuma luz que a esconda
de si própria
