In Greey Night

In grey night
this luster
in air? Tigers

lurking? Pale
sun of a cigarette
at lily-lips?

In sandpaper's roughness
a sudden glare?
The shock of skins

against hair
(as in a dark
street doub-

ly enlace
the counterbeams
of two headlights)?

Fábula (Real) dos Lagos do México

                                                   Para Enylton de Sá Rego e Sarah

Veja estes
lagos de montanha

irão secar

(como da fruta o
azedo do carvão o êxodo da
cor como fibrilas cristais vítreos
xistosidades como tudo o
que a vista vê)

mas deles

mas de larva dispensando
brânquias e
nadadeiras

despertará adulta
agora já a

salamandra

ex-larva
axolotl tigrinum

que nenhum sol
há de secar

(Real) Fable of the Lakes of Mexico

                                         For Enylton de Sá Rego and Sarah

Look at those
mountain lakes

they will dry up

(as of the fruit the
sour from the coal the exodus from the
color like fibrils crystals vitreous
foliations like all that
which the sight sees)

but from them

but from the larva dispensing
branchias and
flippers

will awaken adult
now the

salamander

ex-larva
axolotl tigrinum

that no sun
will dry up
