SEARCHING- À PROCURA...

In front of the old mirror
she took a fisherman´s blade
and with her bare hands
Ripped her chest apart.
Her breasts had sunken
her lungs mired
And there
Homeless and naked
Grasping for breath
a heart displayed
Holding by a scar
So ancient and arid.

There, in n**e mode
Clenching for a new beat
A lone huntsman
fishing for an exonerating junction
To
become
Human
again…

Em frente ao velho espelho
Mãos nuas
facão de pescador
Estraçalhou o peito.
Os seios tinham-se-lhe afunado
Os pulmões mirrado
E, lá ao fundo
Sem teto e desnudo
Um coração fenecido
Por uma cesura tão exsicada e anosa
Sustido.

Ali, nu
Esmolando
um novo sopro.

Pescador solitário
À caça de um cunhal
indulto
para
tornar-se
uma vez mais
humano…

Roubaram o meu avô

"(...) Os raios de sol entram pela janela e repousam na cara do meu avô. A sua pele branca ganha cor. Reparo que sol e rosto dão as mãos e dançam felizes. O semblante do meu avô ganha vida, mas todo o resto do seu corpo permanece imóvel.
Os seus olhos continuam parados, lá ao fundo, no horizonte.
Eu gostava muito de viajar no olhar do meu avô, para ver aquilo que ele vê, ali, naquele lugar distante, que só ele conhece.
- Mãe para onde está o avozinho sempre a olhar?
- Não sei querida. Também eu gostaria também muito de saber.

Se eu zarpasse no olhar do meu avô, eu podia depois contar tudo à minha mãe." (...)

Extrato do meu próximo livro infanto-juvenil, que procura celebrar o sacrifício das famílias, as adaptações e as muitas questões com que se confrontam as crianças e jovens, que assistem ao desvanecer lento dos seus avós, vitimas de demência.
Uma historia que fala da demência, da celebração da vida e das memórias, a morte e os seus mistérios, alertando de forma simples e empática a importância de darmos tempo e ouvidos às histórias de quem parte.
Quando uma estória morre, sem nunca ter tido alguém que a tenha escutado, não é só ela que desaparece. O próprio indivíduo a quem ela também pertence desvanece na sua identidade. Com esta descida ao silêncio, perece igualmente um pouco da nossa humanidade coletiva.

PS: Pormenores brevemente.

One day the knife, today another of my favourite lipsticks. How is it possible. I can’t handle this devious creature in my life!!!

It’s so fascinating to walk at night with on one in sight, but…                                                         ...

It’s so fascinating to walk at night with on one in sight, but… “Many of the last children have died this evening!”

The sweet breath of midnight. There is no equal in the midst of human. A rose coming of age. Wild carnations spewing pervasive whispers through bare streets.
Half of the world sleeps, while the other half awakens.
Many of the last children have died, their corpses holding to the warmth of their mothers’. Others wait, playing hide and seek on crumbling ruins.
The bombs do not sleep, nor do they go numb on children’s dreams. They fall pacily under the watchful eye of greedy neighbours.
Where are the nights we slept on tender whispers and we giggled and snuggled in the arms of one another?
My hands do not touch heaven. It has been dislocated to an undisclosed address. It’s too noisy here. Nights have turned into boisterous arenas: the bombs fall, the frogs call, the lone donkey’s bray pains the horizon…(…)” , , ,
