Poems from Brazil

Gleice Ferreira

Path

Private Brands

(Identity)

Imperfect

Unique

body full of scars

Keeps memories

(Kills)

Treads firm, falters

Staggers in the bush

(Vacant)

Steps without making noise

Starting point - Faith

Where you want to go

You've got to have courage.

(Deletes)


***


I am an invention of me

bottomless pit

erasure

oblivion

emptiness [...]

gap

doubt

sludge

moss

crossing

reverie and colic.


***

He has always had a predilection for the obscene, the unusual, for what dilates the pupil, for what burns, stings.

(Like me)

She was snatched up by a gentleman in the middle of nowhere.

"In the middle of nowhere"

For a dance

She levitated for three minutes exactly

They were intertwined bodies, fire, fury, gallop and immensity.

Time stopped there.

(Lovers)

And a crimson hue left intoxicated the sky.

I desperately wrote this letter.


********* in portuguese ***********


Caminho

Marcas próprias

(Identidade)

Imperfeita

Única

corpo cheio de cicatrizes

Guarda memórias

(Mata)

Pisa firme, vacila

Cambaleia na mata

(Vaga)

Pisa sem fazer ruído

Ponto de partida - Fé

Aonde quer chegar

É preciso ter coragem.

(Apaga)


***



sou uma invenção de mim

poço sem fundo

apagamento

esquecimento

vazios [...]

lacuna

dúvida

lodo

musgo

atravessamento

devaneio e cólicas.


***

Sempre teve predileção para o obsceno, o incomum, pelo que dilata a pupila, pelo que queima, arde.

(Como eu)

Foi arrebatada por um cavalheiro no meio do nada.

"No nada"

Para uma dança

Ficou a levitar por 3 exatos minutos

Eram corpos entrelaçados, fogo, fúria, galope e imensidão.

O tempo parou ali.

(Amantes)

E um tom carmim deixou embriagou o céu.

Escrevi desesperadamente esta carta.
