Tudo

“Tudo é e não é.”

João Guimarães Rosa (Grande Sertão: Veredas)

Waiting

‭”I said to my soul, be still, and wait without hope‬
For hope would be hope for the wrong thing; wait without love
For love would be love of the wrong thing; there is yet faith
But the faith and the love and the hope are all in the waiting
.”

T.S.Eliot

Dreamers

Asleep
she dreams
of a man
not the one
sleeping beside her
but one from her past
Asleep
he dreams
of a woman
not the one
sleeping beside him
but one from his past
How the dreams differ…
Hers more erotic
intensifying gradually
kiss by kiss
stroke for stroke
the climax
Iingers in shudders
His hotter
more desperate
stormier
as pounding surf
on a shingle beach
ends gasping
They speak little
during breakfast
no “How did you sleep?”
their dreams lie
as secrets hidden
in nights past.

Poem by Frederick Fullerton

Arrepio

o arrepio do silêncio

“Sei e não sei que tudo isso é impossível,
que a morte é um abismo sem pontes.

Sobrevivo, mas é insensatez.”

Lya Luft (O lado fatal, 1991)
