29/M/São Paulo I am what I should be / although nothing should I be
How I got here? I don't remember. Where should I go? I don't know. I know I am here and that's enough. My world is mine, Nobody else's. Only I see what I see, But I also know That my view Is one among many. I am not less, I am not more, I am the exact measure Of what I should be, Grateful For everyone that, By my side, Compose an unique me.

The presence
I sometimes shine And I don't know Where that comes from. It's something from inside, Something I am still not aware. Somehow I connect, Somehow I surprise, Somehow I am there. But I often disappear, And that, too, I don't know why. It's just an undescribable need for space. In loneliness I try to find This light But the more I seek, The further I get. The more I think of it, The less I have. Maybe I should get used to it, Surf these waves, Hide from the storm (Inevitable), Float during a calm tide. I know I have it I don't know how to use it, But it's ok. It's only a matter Of living in ignorance And embrace happiness.

The inner light
The precise scale is crooked, The straight scale is dishonest, The one that weighs iron Does not weighs feather, Or air, Or fire. Voices mug Formless and weightless, Voices destroy What hands and songs of many other voices Have built. An escaping voice is the choice Of a tone, a content, A violence, A judgement. To suppress a voice, On the other hand, Isn't lightness at all. We build the world Surrounding yes' and nos, Forgetting maybes And silence. A shut voice Bears the same rage Of a shouting one.

The judgement
The incompleteness is the reason for life. To be complete is to be inert, And to be inert is to not exist. The need is the origin of every movement, The dissatisfaction is the hurricane, Food with no soul To eat up steadiness. It is no wonder That to the condemned Movements are restricted In a premature And with no redemption death

The need
The lamplights That keep cities safe at night Are the same To invert The skies viewed from above. Each city a constellation, A sign, Seen from afar, inert, Seen close up, alive, But there is no gradual transition: One has to choose how to see it. When we learned to fly We saw the world shrink, far away, Deform, And these lights, Small, lost points Like islands surrounded by darkness To remind us We are made of vacuum More than of matter. These islands, Where everything happens Are our reflex: Packs on the surface, We only go deep Where there is richness, We shine to those who see us from above At the same proportion we are invisible. We are cities, We are light, We are vacuum. A the same time. Indiscernible, Inseparable.

The starry cities
In the excess I lose myself I undress from what moves me To run in search Of what makes me run in search Of what makes me run in search. Those things I fill I want to hide, To put ****** aside, The shame of not having, Of not being, Of not doing, Making me a slave Of my desire To have a desire To have a desire. In this plastic sea, In my plastic look, In my mold, In my substance, Everything deforms To adapt to novelties Small as an ant seen from an airplane, Ephemeral, fugitive, Undervalued. To live by news Is, at the same time, Deconstruct and complete oneself, Take off from the body, Arrive from time, Float in a jelly Half present, half future, To discover That every history Is fulfill a time. To choose the hollows Is the precise art Of creating meaning.

The filled spaces
What's with my body It seems to speak thousands of languages I can't understand. It would be easier If every of my systems Would talk in clear, plain, Portuguese.

The translation
Sometimes it's a weird arrangement, And I think it's all going to be fine, And I think it's not going to be fine. But I know it'll be what will be For we created every chances, Within every choice. I know there's a special connection But what does that stands for In such different spaces we occupy, Such different futures ahead, Such different goals? We're left with a warmth goodbye And exhilarating memories. We have more in our pasts Than in what's to come. Probably. And that's ok. We'll still have a connection. We'll still have contact. Probably. We'll have written part of each other stories And that's enough. Our freedoms have outspoken Plans and flesh and comfort. But the first aim Is to seek happiness. At times, that meant together. Now it means something else I'm still trying to figure out. To be better, always. That's what I wish for both of us.

The connection
If there is a void in me It's because there is a "me". It's because there is something being That once wasn't. Because every hole Is just something Made of something else. Emptiness is necessary To be fulfilled, It's the space of being, The waiting possibly, The tiredness that makes us available, To remove my ego and bring me you, To approach me to what I see, For when I see, I'm plain. The nothingness is the permission, The origin, It's too be naked and protected Of everything that can be "me" And completeness never allowed.

The emptiness
Five years is my longest season. I don't know what it is I keep running from. Have I hated roots so badly I can't afford to try it? Have I been exposed to such opportunities I prefer to move? Am I just curious Or I just get bored? I do learn a lot But I only do little with it: I survive and I delight. I feel like I drop seeds everywhere But I fail to nurture them. What's new for me to try? An interested phone call, A Spartan life, A season as a monk, A money seeking job Or a volunteer work? Every answers lie On the other side of the fear.
