E quem pensaria

And who would think

And who would think

would come
the day,
in which the poet crazy
after having scanned all
no longer found
some sketch
some draft
some phrase loose
lost some conclusion
among the things
of his heart ....

E quem pensaria
E quem pensaria
que chegaria
o dia,
que o poeta alucinado
depois de ter varrido tudo
não mais encontrou
nenhum esboço
nenhum rascunho
nenhuma frase solta
nenhuma máxima perdida
entre as coisas
de seu coração….
