Notinha pessoal:
O que mais aprecio num homem, eis algo que já me perguntaram mais do que uma vez. E àqueles que perguntaram, respondi sempre da mesma maneira: que saiba quando estar calado, bem como a quem perguntar.

Poesia em inglês
Above the Fire
Above the fire a man floats in a boat.
Above the fire a woman is devoured by a snake,
unseen.
The leaves are yellow alongside & in the wake
the trunks & branches
mirror one another, black, rain-soaked.
And now he's old. He trails a hand until it snares
a leaf — saw-toothed.
Clouds break above the buildings
where there had been none.
The snake is old, its jaw completely
unhinged for the swallowing.
What now?
There was a continent.
Below, the last gods bum along with their last
offerings —
no smoke, no film, no evidence.
The gold-shagged blizzard of the willow
spills again.
Climb down. Prevent.
He leans back & the oar drips like no other memory.
Peter Sacks, 2002.
