FROM MUTINY TO MUTINY
From mutiny to mutiny
I give myself up to poetry
overcoming the hardships
of insidious darkness
the vertigo of longing
in the manacles of passion
the loss
to my pulse
in that singular gift
of shock and tumult
DE MOTIM EM MOTIM
De motim em motim
entrego-me à poesia
a vencer a escuridade
as agruras da insídia
a vertigem da saudade
na paixão de algemar
o perdimento
ao meu pulso
nessa dádiva singular
de sobressalto e tumulto
