Carta aberta às poetisas

Tu constróis clarabóias no meu telhado
As clarabóias arquitectadas com as tuas palavras
são as mais bonitas
porque têm muitos ninhos de pardais
e uns boulevards agrestes e cremosos
de onde é possível fazer astro turismo

Com a tua poesia
vejo a constelação de Cisne
de Escorpião
de Orion
e outros aglomerados estelares
dentro de mim.


Open Letter to (women) Poets

You build skylights in my roof
no architect ever could.
Carved from your words they bloom —
the most luminous skylights of all
For they hold nesting places for sparrows
and boulevards both wild and creamy,
from which one can go stargazing.

Through your poetry,
I see Cygnus unfold,
Scorpius unfurl its tail,
Orion raise his belt—
and other stellar gatherings
taking root inside me.
