palavra à noite cantada
co'a manhã se desfaz
em palavra granulada:
matinal achocolatado.

Já não sente a poesia
tal qual ressoara clara
na madrugada alta

- Et pourtant, fala!

Será a escrita fogo fátuo?
marca gravada em gado,
ou cardo na sua pata?

(O poeta-boi rumina
mas não é vaca sagrada).

Estrela cadente, cabala:
meros fogos de artifício
ruidosos melros da fala:
na calma manhã se calam.

Profound things screaming at insanity
These words have no meaning
My mind breaks
Unable to even move
In catatonic despair
And  then…
when my eyes are tired and my soul is a worn husk
Awake at three in the morning watching videos of steel drummers
On the tired ends of some desperate baffling nightmare
The same motifs recurring endlessly over and over
Recursively storming through the gallows and nether winds of some unmentionable quivering fury
And at the precise moment where all Is lost and all is at your finger tips
the words poured out like buckets of rainwater on the side walks of the throng trembling masses
a primeval cro-magnon scumbag alive and well with a post modern kick
a lone star cupid with nothing to win
the bop kebab pop cabala flanks me at every turn
and the Jesus lizard shrinks beneath the weight of crushing globalism
as the world sits back and laughs
