my wife, Maria da Nazaré, in Guimarães
................................................................

Souls put on bodies
when I touch you
I feel your strong soul
supple
throbbing

so I think

all gesture is volatile
and winged
cause soul is inside.

///

Les corps habillent les âmes
quand je touche ton âme
je la sens forte
élastique
palpitante

alors je pense

que tout geste est volatile
et ailé
car l'âme est dedans.

///

Os corpos vestem as almas
quando toco tua alma
sinto-a forte
elástica
latejante

então penso

que todo o gesto é volátil
e alado
porque tem a alma dentro.
