David Mourão-Ferreira - O Bombardeiro No Crepúsculo
As flies to wanton boys, are we to the gods,
They kill us for their sport.
SHAKESPEARE
Neste nosso crepúsculo decifrado
tudo se encontra já comprometido:
antes de a noite vir do céu, virá do
mesmo céu
— o bombardeiro do destino.
Antes de a noite vir, virá o véu
das suas asas de alumínio.
Ó anjo anunciador do Apocalipse,
que rútila armadura tu escolheste!

Yusef Komunyakaa - After Summer Fell Apart
I can’t touch you.
His face always returns;
we exchange long looks
in each bad dream
& what I see, my God.
