Poems in English
Translated by
Michael Palmer
LASCAUX
at the Cinema Lascaux
(image over image)
cuts:
centuries of klee
cross-sections of colors
in the drawings of Kane
in the bellae voices
(Billie & Ella)
in her crossed legs
in front of the TV
chance-like magic
coloring
as if by accident
the dark cavern
in which we find ourselves
RAREFACTUS
No human voice
here speaks
out
an anarchic phantom pours,
demolisher
full nothing in the emptiness
of this desert
offers itself as absence,
nail flesh
silent scent in the wind
slope
spectre's cross-section
at rest in the water
all that in silence
flows in due time echoes
in Nothing the sun could not explain
- 20 Contemporary Brazilian Poets
Edited by Michael Palmer, Régis
