Argument?
Days that cannot bring you near
or will not,
Distance trying to appear
something more obstinate,
argue argue argue with me
endlessly
neither proving you less wanted nor less dear.
Distance: Remember all that land
beneath the plane;
that coastline
of dim beaches deep in sand
stretching indistinguishably
all the way,
all the way to where my reasons end?
Days: And think
of all those cluttered instruments,
one to a fact,
canceling each other's experience;
how they were
like some hideous calendar
"Compliments of Never & Forever, Inc."
The intimidating sound
of these voices
we must separately find
can and shall be vanquished:
Days and Distance disarrayed again
and gone...

A minha saudade tem o mar aprisionado
na sua teia de datas e lugares.
É uma matéria vibrátil e nostálgica
que não consigo tocar sem receio,
porque queima os dedos,
porque fere os lábios,
porque dilacera os olhos.
E não me venham dizer que é inocente,
passiva e benigna porque não posso acreditar!
José Jorge Letria
