Javalis - Diego Moraes

Javalis

Casal ruivo dançando tango dentro do sonho da padaria
Teu sorriso é um livro de setecentas e setenta e sete páginas terminados
em flor
A solidão dos javalis nadando no Discovery Channel.

Valentine - Owen Sheers

The water torture of your heels
emptying before me down that Paris street,
evacuated as the channels of our hearts.

That will be one memory.

The swing of the tassels on your skirt
each step filling out the curve of your hip;
your wet lashes, the loss of everything we’d learnt.

That will be another.

Then later – holding each other on the hotel bed
like a pair of wrecked voyagers
who had thought themselves done for,

only to wake washed up on the shore
uncertain in their exhaustion
whether to laugh or weep.

That my valentine, will be the one I’ll keep.  

Owen Sheers. Skirrid Hill, 2005.

Love, Like Water - Julia Copus

Love, Like Water

Tumbling from some far-flung cloud
into your bathroom alone, to sleeve
a toe, five toes, a metatarsal arch,
it does its best to being indifference
to the body, but will go on creeping
up to the neck till its reading the skin
like Braille, though you're certain it sees
under the surface of things and knows
the route your nerves take as they branch
from the mind, which lately has been curling
in on itself like the spine of a dog
as it circles a patch of ground to sleep.
Now through the dappled window,
propped open slightly for the heat,
a light rain is composing
the lake it falls into, the way a lover's hand
composes the body it touches - Love,
like water! How to gives and gives,
wearing the deepest of grooves in our sides
and filling them up again, ever so gently
wounding us, making us whole.

Julia Copus. In Defense of Adultery. Bloodaxe, 2003.
