A demência lavra&lt;br /&gt;a sua queimadura desde os recessos negros&lt;br /&gt;onde&lt;br /&gt;se formam&lt;br /&gt;as estações até ao cimo,&lt;br /&gt;nas sedas que se escoam com a largura fluvial da luz e a espuma, ou da noite e as nebulosas e o silêncio todo branco.&lt;br /&gt;Os dedos.&lt;br /&gt;A montanha desloca-se sobre o coração que se alumia: a língua&lt;br /&gt;alumia-se. O mel escurece dentro da veia&lt;br /&gt;jugular talhando&lt;br /&gt;a garganta. Nesta mão que escreve afunda-se&lt;br /&gt;a lua, e de alto a baixo, em tuas grutas&lt;br /&gt;obscuras, a lua&lt;br /&gt;tece as ramas de um sangue mais salgado&lt;br /&gt;e profundo. E o marfim amadurece na terra&lt;br /&gt;como uma constelação. O dia leva-o, a noite&lt;br /&gt;traz para junto da cabeça: essa raiz de osso&lt;br /&gt;vivo. A idade que escrevo&lt;br /&gt;escreve-se&lt;br /&gt;num braço fincado em ti, uma veia&lt;br /&gt;dentro&lt;br /&gt;da tua árvore. Ou um filão ardido de ponta a ponta&lt;br /&gt;da figura cavada&lt;br /&gt;no espelho. Ou ainda a fenda&lt;br /&gt;na fronte por onde começa a estrela animal.&lt;br /&gt;Queima-te a espaçosa&lt;br /&gt;desarrumação das imagens. E trabalha em ti&lt;br /&gt;o suspiro do sangue curvo, um alimento&lt;br /&gt;violento cheio&lt;br /&gt;da luz entrançada na terra. As mão carregam a força&lt;br /&gt;desde a raiz&lt;br /&gt;dos braços, a força&lt;br /&gt;manobra os dedos as escrever da idade, uma labareda&lt;br /&gt;fechada, a límpida&lt;br /&gt;ferida que me atravessa desde essa tua leveza&lt;br /&gt;sombria como uma dança até&lt;br /&gt;ao poder com que te toco. A mudança. Nenhuma&lt;br /&gt;estação é lenta quando te acrescentas na desordem, nenhum&lt;br /&gt;astro&lt;br /&gt;é tão feroz agarrando toda a cama. Os poros&lt;br /&gt;do teu vestido.&lt;br /&gt;As palavras que escrevo correndo&lt;br /&gt;entre a limalha. A tua boca como um buraco luminoso,&lt;br /&gt;arterial.&lt;br /&gt;E o grande lugar anatómico em que pulsas como um lençol lavrado.&lt;br /&gt;alimenta-se&lt;br /&gt;fixamente de mel envenenado. E eu escrevo-te&lt;br /&gt;toda&lt;br /&gt;no comenta&lt;br /&gt;que te envolve as ancas como um beijo.&lt;br /&gt;Os dia côncavos, os quartos alagados, as noites que crescem&lt;br /&gt;nos quartos.&lt;br /&gt;É de ouro a paisagem que nasce: eu torço-a&lt;br /&gt;entre os braços. E há roupas vivas, o imóvel&lt;br /&gt;relâmpago das frutas. O incêndio atrás das noites corta&lt;br /&gt;pelo meio&lt;br /&gt;o abraço da nossa morte. Os fulcros das caras&lt;br /&gt;um pouco loucas&lt;br /&gt;engolfadas, entre as mãos sumptuosas.&lt;br /&gt;A doçura mata.&lt;br /&gt;A luz salta às golfadas.&lt;br /&gt;A terra é alta.&lt;br /&gt;Tu és o nó de sangue que me sufoca.&lt;br /&gt;Dormes na minha insónia como o aroma entre os tendões&lt;br /&gt;da madeira fria.

Not in remorse&lt;br /&gt;- The good not done, the love not given, time&lt;br /&gt;Torn off unused - nor wretchedly because&lt;br /&gt;An only life can take so long to climb&lt;br /&gt;Clear of its wrong beginnings, and may never,&lt;br /&gt;But at the total emptiness for ever,&lt;br /&gt;The sure extiction that we travel to&lt;br /&gt;And shall be lost in always. Not to be here,&lt;br /&gt;Not to be anywhere,&lt;br /&gt;And soon; nothing more terrible, nothing more true.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is a special way of being afraid&lt;br /&gt;No trick dispels. Religion used to try,&lt;br /&gt;That vast moth-eaten musical brocade&lt;br /&gt;Created to pretend we never die,&lt;br /&gt;And specious stuff that says No rational being&lt;br /&gt;Can fear a thing it will not feel, not seeing&lt;br /&gt;That this is what we fear - no sight, no sound,&lt;br /&gt;No touch or taste or smell, nothing to think with,&lt;br /&gt;Nothing to love or link with,&lt;br /&gt;The anaesthetic from which none come round.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And so it stays just on the edge of vision,&lt;br /&gt;A small unfocused blur, a standing chill&lt;br /&gt;That slows each impulse down to indecision.&lt;br /&gt;Most things may never happen: this one will,&lt;br /&gt;And realisation of it rages out&lt;br /&gt;In furnace-fear when we are caught without&lt;br /&gt;People or drink. Courage is not good:&lt;br /&gt;It means not scaring others. Being brave&lt;br /&gt;Lets no one off the grave.&lt;br /&gt;Death is no different whined at than withstood.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Slowly light strengthens, and the room takes shape.&lt;br /&gt;It stands plain as a wardrobe, what we know,&lt;br /&gt;Have always known, know that we can't escape,&lt;br /&gt;Yet can't accept. One side will have to go.&lt;br /&gt;Meanwhile telephones crouch, getting ready to ring&lt;br /&gt;In locked-up offives, and all the uncaring&lt;br /&gt;Intricate rented world begins to rouse.&lt;br /&gt;The sky is white as clay, with no sun.&lt;br /&gt;Work has to be done.&lt;br /&gt;Postmen like doctors go from house to house.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Philip Larkin&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;font size=1&gt;in &lt;i&gt;Times Literary Supplement&lt;/i&gt;, 23 de Dezembro de 1977&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6788064-110366854459487239?l=notabem.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6788064/posts/default/110366854459487239'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6788064/posts/default/110366854459487239'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://notabem.blogspot.com/2004/12/aubade.html' title='Aubade'/><author><name>MacGuffin</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16324083186397855998</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='21' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_tjLw7y5Gw08/SKmCo0qHKII/AAAAAAAAAAQ/BlezBQU2-Qk/S220/rear-window.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6788064.post-109649818592237840</id><published>2004-09-29T15:49:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2004-12-21T14:45:15.410-08:00</updated><title type='text'>The Autumn Leaves</title><content type='html'>The Falling leaves drift by my window&lt;br /&gt;The autumn leaves of red and gold&lt;br /&gt;I see your lips the summer kisses&lt;br /&gt;The sunburned hands I used to hold&lt;br /&gt;Since you went away the days are long&lt;br /&gt;And soon I’ll hear old winter’s song&lt;br /&gt;But I miss you most of all my darling&lt;br /&gt;When autumn leaves start to fall&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6788064-109649818592237840?l=notabem.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6788064/posts/default/109649818592237840'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6788064/posts/default/109649818592237840'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://notabem.blogspot.com/2004/09/autumn-leaves.html' title='The Autumn Leaves'/><author><name>MacGuffin</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16324083186397855998</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='21' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_tjLw7y5Gw08/SKmCo0qHKII/AAAAAAAAAAQ/BlezBQU2-Qk/S220/rear-window.jpg'/></author></entry></feed>
