da saudade 35. Gifts 17.

Na saudade
enchi-me de ti

estou cheia, assim
de ti

a ver a amizade

suspeito que trago o teu sorriso
magnífico.

race me home

Gifts 12.

Regresso devagar ao teu sorriso como quem volta a casa.
Faço de conta que não é nada comigo.
Distraído percorro o caminho familiar da saudade,
pequeninas coisas me prendem,
uma tarde num café, um livro.
Devagar te amo e às vezes depressa,
meu amor, e às vezes faço coisas que não devo,
regresso devagar a tua casa,
compro um livro, entro no amor como em casa.


Manuel António Pina

(okay)

What’s being smart-enough about? Where did we start? What’s being started about? Or is it nothing about being started? Where is my mind? Where is my mind? If they’d see me, would the world understand? Will I ever feel I’m falling in the ground? What the fuck am I asking about? I know you know I'm not perfect.

I just got afraid about when we may become the past. It's okay. It all astounds me anyway.

- I'm not perfect.
- I can't see anything that I don't like about you. Right now I can't.
- But you will. But you will. You know, you will think of things, and I'll get bored with you and feel trapped... because that's what happens with me.
- Okay.
- Okay.
- Okay. Okay.

... meet me at Montauk.

if reminisces make you frown
One thinks of what one hoped to be
and then faces reality



Who Am I
Lou Reed & Laurie Anderson
2002

I know I like to dream a lot
and think of other worlds that are not

a propósito de cansaço e da naturalidade que é dizermos uns aos outros "vai correr tudo bem"
- vai correr tudo bem.

The Laughing Heart
your life is your life
don’t let it be clubbed into dank submission.
be on the watch.
there are ways out.
there is a light somewhere.
it may not be much light but
it beats the darkness.
be on the watch.
the gods will offer you chances.
know them.
take them.
you can’t beat death but
you can beat death in life, sometimes.
and the more often you learn to do it,
the more light there will be.
your life is your life.
know it while you have it.
you are marvelous
the gods wait to delight
in you.


roll the dice
if you’re going to try, go all the
way.
otherwise, don’t even start.

if you’re going to try, go all the
way.
this could mean losing girlfriends,
wives, relatives, jobs and
maybe your mind.

go all the way.
it could mean not eating for 3 or 4 days.
it could mean freezing on a
park bench.
it could mean jail,
it could mean derision,
mockery,
isolation.
isolation is the gift,
all the others are a test of your
endurance, of
how much you really want to
do it.
and you’ll do it
despite rejection and the worst odds
and it will be better than
anything else
you can imagine.

if you’re going to try,
go all the way.
there is no other feeling like
that.
you will be alone with the gods
and the nights will flame with
fire.

do it, do it, do it.
do it.

all the way
all the way.

you will ride life straight to
perfect laughter, its
the only good fight
there is.

Charles Bukowski
