Nunca serei nada.
Não posso querer ser nada.
À parte isso, tenho em mim todos os sonhos do mundo.

I will never be anything.

A JOURNEY BACK TO ENDEARMENT

A JOURNEY BACK TO ENDEARMENT



FLYING A SECRET



I got here to hide. From equations and patterns. From repetition, after all.
Closed the door and got me a special place where I thought I could
somehow sit close to the stars. But I soon found out that the sky was
still opaque, no matter what the steps. And so I left. Again.

I thought, then, I could build me a different ceiling, a new-coloured scrap
of highness. And then make it work. Where I could dream, more than I sleep.
I have long decided that sleeping is overrated - that I know for sure. So I
take that time instead to travel the night alone and in the meantime I allow
myself to fly, unlike stated before... Yes, I like playing with paradox, to
expose the inside of words and the revelation of writing down the voice of a
silence. My adventurous, ever-walking silence.

So I came back. Here, within this quiet world, I intend to gather all my
things usually kept hidden or inactive. They are here to speak.

And since the future is a stand-by secret, I want to live by a precocious
clock, at every running instant of every entering second.

And I will not slow down until my "future exists now" - kind of reverse
quoting Jacob Bronowski.

THE BOOK OF LETTERS - "NO TEU POEMA" - II



 
We always knew it: there's only a few who can actually sing this song with the intense emotion and soul such words require - the way it was written and meant to be expressed, after all. We always knew it.
 
A poem where absolutely everything, said or left unsaid, exists and is alive. So, here's to us.

At last.
 
[ * In your poem
Exists the burning hope behind the wall
Exists everything else that I'm still missing
 And a blank verse lying in wait for the future * ]
 
 
DIANA LUCAS - NO TEU POEMA (THE VOICE)
 

 
No teu poema
Existe um verso em branco e sem medida
Um corpo que respira, um céu aberto
Janela debruçada para a vida
No teu poema
Existe a dor calada lá no fundo
O passo da coragem em casa escura
E aberta, uma varanda para o Mundo

Existe a noite
O riso e a voz refeita à luz do dia
A festa da Senhora da Agonia
E o cansaço do corpo que adormece em cama fria
Existe um rio
A sina de quem nasce fraco ou forte
O risco, a raiva, a luta de quem cai ou que resiste
Que vence ou adormece antes da morte

No teu poema
Existe o grito e o eco da metralha
A dor que sei de cor mas não recito
E os sonos inquietos de quem falha
No teu poema
Existe um cantochão alentejano
A rua e o pregão de uma varina
E um barco assoprado a todo o pano

Existe a noite
O canto em vozes juntas, vozes certas
Canção de uma só letra e um só destino a embarcar
O cais da nova nau das descobertas
Existe um rio
A sina de quem nasce fraco, ou forte
O risco, a raiva e a luta de quem cai ou que resiste
Que vence ou adormece antes da morte

* No teu poema
Existe a esperança acesa atrás do muro
Existe tudo mais que ainda me escapa
 E um verso em branco à espera do futuro *
 
__ a poem by José Luís Tinoco
