Fleeting Light

Fleeting Light
From the brief fleeting
light
of stars' movement
I apprehend the beauty of fugitive shapes
lost in darkness
and sleep.

///

De la brève lumière
fugace
du mouvement des astres
j'appréhende la beauté des formes fugitives
qui se perdrent dans l'ombre
et le sommeil.

///

Pela luz breve
fugaz
do movimento dos astros
apreendo a beleza das formas fugitivas
que se perdem na sombra
e no sono.

by Armando TABORDA, in "PALAVRAS, MÚSICAS E BLASFÉMIAS QUE ENVELHEÇO NA CIDADE", Ulmeiro Editores, 1996
