ERRAND

I want to tell you something ---
a strange sensation runs through my body
as it were an emotion ---
but it isn't
I'm calm in the bright mid-afternoon
fortunately there is light around my apathy
and I yawn
I want to tell you something
it would be of no use if I said
don't even know what it would be
please consider what remains to be said to you as said
probably
the shiver I feel in my body
it's just from cold

RECADO

Quero dizer-te uma coisa ---
estranha sensação me percorre o corpo
como se fosse uma emoção ---
mas não é
estou calmo a meio da tarde luminosa
felizmente há luz em redor da minha apatia
e eu bocejo
quero dizer-te uma coisa
se a dissesse de nada serviria
nem sequer sei o que era
por favor considera o que fica por dizer-te como dito
provavelmente
o arrepio que sinto no corpo
é só do frio

Errand...”a short journey, usually...” The shiver you feel might be anticipation, Armando. So stoical, almost bored, but there are things still to be said. A daydreaming meditation. Looking good!

Armando Taborda replied to Steve Bucknell:

The text is my "short journey"...to deliver my message in my own name, instead of someone else's behalf.

My boring days deserve the same attention I pay to daydreaming ones.

And you deserve my friendship and gratitude for your visits and adhoc comments: it's a pleasure to hear about you once more!

We were away on Lanzarote in accommodations that had no internet connection. A relief in some ways. Always good to be back. The memories of our visit are still strong and inspiring!

Adrienne and you are good and experienced travellers: you don't need 80 days to go around the world.

Errant,un adjectif inspirant et évasif malgré la présence de l'esprit..Généralement la personne se laisse aller au grès du temps et de l'espace...Je dirai que chaque personne a ce besoin d'errance pour se retrouver.(C'est ce que je pense)..!
HFF et Excellente fin de semaine.
