Jane Hirshfield - It Was Like This: You Were Happy

It was like this:
you were happy, then you were sad,
then happy again, then not.

It went on.
You were innocent or you were guilty.
Actions were taken, or not.

At times you spoke, at other times you were silent.
Mostly, it seems you were silent—what could you say?

Now it is almost over.

Like a lover, your life bends down and kisses your life.

It does this not in forgiveness—
between you, there is nothing to forgive—
but with the simple nod of a baker at the moment
he sees the bread is finished with trans...

Edna St. Vincent Millay - Love is Not All

Love is not all: it is not meat nor drink
Nor slumber nor a roof against the rain;
Nor yet a floating spar to men that sink
And rise and sink and rise and sink again;
Love can not fill the thickened lung with breath,
Nor clean the blood, nor set the fractured bone;
Yet many a man is making friends with death
Even as I speak, for lack of love alone.
It well may be that in a difficult hour,
Pinned down by pain and moaning for release,
Or nagged by want past resolution's power,
I might be driven to ...

Fiama Hasse Pais Brandão - Nada tão silencioso como o tempo

Nada tão silencioso como o tempo
no interior do corpo. Porque ele passa
com um rumor nas pedras que nos cobrem,
e pelo sonoro desalinho de algumas árvores
que são os nossos cabelos imaginários.
Até na íris dos olhos o tempo
faz estalar faíscas de luz breve.

Só no interior sem nome do nosso corpo
ou esfera húmida de algum astro
ignoto, numa órbita apartada,
o tempo caladamente persegue
o sangue que se esvai sem som.
Entre o princípio e o fim vem corroer
as vísceras, que ocultamos como a Terra.
Trilam os lábio...
