Dizer-te tudo o que cabe em cada segundo.

«O Céu beijou a Terra e deixou-lhe impressa no rosto a sua efígie deslumbrante.
O Céu é a imagem da Terra, mas indefinida e transparente.
Noivam, todos os anos, o Céu e a Terra.»


Teixeira de Pascoaes [1877-1952] | O Pobre Tolo - Prosa e Poesia | Assírio & Alvim | 2000

Sem ti, os dias não passam de meras somas de horas.
Queria dizer-te tudo. Falar-te de tudo o que cabe em cada segundo.

© [m.m. botelho], ao som de My Favourite Plum, de Suzanne Vega, do álbum Nine Objects of Desire [1996].



my favorite plum / hangs so far from me / see how it sleeps / and hear how it calls to me / see how the flesh / presses the skin, / it must be bursting / with secrets within, / I've seen the rest, yes / and that is the one for me
see how it shines / it will be so sweet / I've been so dry / it would make my heart complete / See how it lays / languid and slow / Never noticing / me here below / I've seen the best, yes / and that is the one for me
maybe a girl will take it / maybe a boy will steal it / maybe a shake of the bough / will wake it and make it fall
my favorite plum / lies in wait for me / I'll be right here / longing endlessly / you'll say that I'm / foolish to trust / but it will be mine / and I know that it must / 'cause I've had the rest, yes / and that is the one for me / I've seen the best, yes / and that is the one for me.
