MYSELF

so many people have passed by me
in the maternity in the schools and on the city streets
in the barracks and their windswept parades
in the wars of Africa Europe and the wide World
in the rotten peace of this planet in decay
agonizing
and in the death rattle so many people are still passing by me
dead and alive friends who appear in dreams
faceless virtual acquaintances without ideas beyond the photos
on social media Summer concerts and soccer stadiums
all they pass by me
everything goes through me
my memory is made of image shards passing through me
myself
the unique being owner of god

///

EU MESMO

tanta gente passou por mim
na maternidade nas escolas e nas ruas da cidade
nos quarteis e suas paradas varridas pelo vento
nas guerras d'África Europa e do Mundo
na paz podre deste planeta em decadência
agonizante
e no estertor ainda tanta gente passa por mim
amigos mortos e vivos que aparecem nos sonhos
conhecidos virtuais sem rosto nem ideias para além das fotografias
nas redes sociais nos concertos de verão e nos estádios de futebol
todos eles passam por mim
tudo passa por mim
minha memória é feita dos estilhaços das imagens que passam por mim
eu mesmo
ser único e dono de deus
