they say the problem is to start. so grasp asap

a currency when well used is more useful that urgency

a scent for talent better than no cent

So much breathing has not the same place when there is that much beginning. So much breathing has not the same place when the end is lessening. So much breathing has the same place and there must not be so much suggestion. There can be there the habit that there is if there is no need of resting. The absence is not alternative.

Life no argument.- We have fixed up a world for ourselves in which we can live- assuming bodies, lines, planes, causes and effects, motion and rest, form and content: whithout these articles of faith, nobody now would endure life. But that does not mean that they have been proved. Life is no argument; the conditions of life could include error.

nas cidades as tempestades alojadas nas crateras da pele

trepam sagazes nas gargantas dos seres doidos de fogo

nas cidades os reflexos das luzes alojados nos poros do sangue

ficam absortos nas bocas dos seres acordados de pavor

buscar o mel que fizeram as mulheres que habitam as galáxias

buscar o fogo pleno

Her heart was a construction site. It was filled with stones to be held by bones in houses that would replace the rubble. And then the ocean came and a wave told us that she would still be alive after the water vanished down the shore.

bic cristal preta doendo nas falangetas,
papel sobre a mesa,
a luz que vibra por cima, por baixo
a cadeira eléctrica que vibra,
e é isto:
electrocutado, luz sacudida no cabelo,
a beleza do corpo no centro da beleza do mundo:
pontos de ouro nas frutas,
frutas na luz escarpada,
clarões florais atrás de paredões de água,
água guardada no meio das fornalhas
-isto que, sentado eu na minha cadeira eléctrica,
entra a corrente por mim adentro e abala-me,
e com perícia artífice deixa no papel
o nexo estilístico entre
o terso, vívido, caótico e doce:
e o escrito, o carbonífero, o extinto,
o corpo
