(…) Não há guarda-chuva
contra o amor
que mastiga e cospe como qualquer boca,
que tritura como um desastre.
Não há guarda-chuva
contra o tédio:
o tédio das quatro paredes, das quatro
estações, dos quatro pontos cardeais.
Não há guarda-chuva
contra o mundo
cada dia devorado nos jornais
sob as espécies de papel e tinta.
Não há guarda-chuva
contra o tempo,
rio fluindo sob a casa, correnteza
carregando os dias, os cabelos.
| João Cabral de Melo Neto - A Carlos Drummond de Andrade |

don't say hi if you don't have time for a nice goodbye
it's when you walk in, it's when you beat my ghosts that something surprises and you're feeling down. And it's when you talk with, with a friend so sad that seven eighty nine fears going down. When you're walking down the road with saddest signs, there're no green lights and only stars and no one to drive me home, alone I can't say goodbye. I was feeling doubts and so who am I, wake up and no supplies and there's something inside my head alone I can't say goodbye.

a festa do silêncio
Escuto na palavra a festa do silêncio.
Tudo está no seu sítio. As aparências apagaram-se.
As coisas vacilam tão próximas de si mesmas.
Concentram-se, dilatam-se as ondas silenciosas.
É o vazio ou o cimo? É um pomar de espuma.
Uma criança brinca nas dunas, o tempo acaricia,
o ar prolonga. A brancura é o caminho.
Surpresa e não surpresa: a simples respiração.
Relações, variações, nada mais. Nada se cria.
Vamos e vimos. Algo inunda, incendeia, recomeça.
Nada é inacessível no silêncio ou no poema.
É aqui a abóbada transparente, o vento principia.
No centro do dia há uma fonte de água clara.
Se digo árvore a árvore em mim respira.
Vivo na delícia nua da inocência aberta.
| António Ramos Rosa, in "Volante Verde" |

OCD
The first time I saw her..
Everything in my head went quiet.
All the ticks, all the constantly refreshing images just disappeared.
When you have Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, you don’t really get quiet moments.
Even in bed, I’m thinking:
Did I lock the doors? Yes.
Did I wash my hands? Yes.
Did I lock the doors? Yes.
Did I wash my hands? Yes.
But when I saw her, the only thing I could think about was the hairpin curve of her lips..
Or the eyelash on her cheek—
the eyelash on her cheek—
the eyelash on her cheek.
I knew I had to talk to her.
I asked her out six times in thirty seconds.
She said yes after the third one, but none of them felt right, so I had to keep going.
On our first date, I spent more time organizing my meal by color than I did eating it, or talking to her..
But she loved it.
She loved that I had to kiss her goodbye sixteen times or twenty-four times at different times of the day.
She loved that it took me forever to walk home because there are lots of cracks on our sidewalk.
When we moved in together, she said she felt safe, like no one would ever rob us because I definitely lock the door eighteen times.
I’d always watch her mouth when she talked—
when she talked—
when she talked—
when she talked;
when she said she loved me, her mouth would curl up at the edges.
At night, she’d lay in bed and watch me turn all the lights off.. And on, and off, and on, and off, and on, and off, and on, and off, and on, and off.
She’d close her eyes and imagine that the days and nights were passing in front of her.
But then.. She said I was taking up too much of her time.
That I couldn’t kiss her goodbye so much because I was making her late for work..
When she said she loved me, her mouth was a straight line..
When I stopped in front of a crack in the sidewalk, she just kept walking..
And last week she started sleeping at her mother’s place.
She told me that she shouldn’t have let me get so attached to her; that this whole thing was a mistake, but..
How can it be a mistake that I don’t have to wash my hands after I touch her?
Love is not a mistake, and it’s killing me that she can run away from this and I just can’t.
I can’t go out and find someone new because I always think of her.
Usually, when I obsess over things, I see germs sneaking into my skin.
I see myself crushed my an endless succession of cars..
And she was the first beautiful thing I ever got stuck on.
I want to wake up every morning thinking about the way she holds her steering wheel..
How she turns shower knobs like she opening a safe.
How she blows out candles—
blows out candles—
blows out candles—
blows out candles—
blows out—….
Now, I just think about who else is kissing her.
I can’t breathe because he only kisses her once—he doesn’t care if it’s perfect!
I want her back so bad..
I leave the door unlocked.
I leave the lights on.
