<no title>
Cranes at the dock unload goods and I love you.
Isolated men walk the avenues and I love you.
Electric silences sparkle inside machines and I love you.
Destruction against chaos, destruction against chaos and I love you.
Bodies reflections are disfigured in the shop window and I love you.
Years are getting older in the forgetfulness of warehouses and I love you.
The destiny of the whole city is the night and I love you.
///
Gruas no cais descarregam mercadorias e eu amo-te.
Homens isolados caminham nas avenidas e eu amo-te.
Silêncios eléctricos faíscam dentro das máquinas e eu amo-te.
Destruição contra o caos, destruição contra o caos e eu amo-te.
Reflexos de corpos desfiguram-se nas montras e eu amo-te.
Envelhecem anos no esquecimento dos armazéns e eu amo-te.
Toda a cidade se destina à noite e eu amo-te.
by José Luís PEIXOTO (b. 1974), in "GAVETA DE PAPÉIS", Quetzal Editora, 2014
