LETTER FRAGMENT

LETTER FRAGMENT
the mind is not always pure
gods handle and infect it
one night the vague dream
of a philosopher
opens the secrets of death
birds
passed in silence
advertising
the winter
in the coat pocket
a new twilight
got ready

///

FRAGMENTO DE CARTA

nem sempre o espírito é puro
os deuses o manuseiam e infectam
uma noite o vago sonho
de um filósofo
abre os segredos da morte
as aves
passavam em silêncio
anunciando
o inverno
no bolso do casaco
um novo crepúsculo
se preparava

by Nuno JÚDICE (1949-2024), in "50 ANOS DE POESIA", Antologia Pessoal (1972-2022), Publcações Dom Quixote, 2022
