borboletas numa caixa de sapatos em que eu abria furos para que respirassem
(não se calcula a quantidade de oxigénio que as borboletas requerem)
os grandes cães silenciosos que nos perseguem nos sonhos e ao saltarem para nos morder acordamos, pensa-se
- Sonhei
e no entanto um resto de saliva deles no pijama



António Lobo Antunes, O Arquipélago da Insónia

heavy love

"Breathe, keep breathing..."

Tattooed Man

Some days I don't give a fuck
and some days I care much too much
Then my mind gets in a rush
and I can't shut it off

I'm an open receiver

Some days I'm out of luck
and sometimes I get way out of touch
Every now and then I wanna give up
because I'm spinning

One day when I rise above
I'll be a believer

I'll be a believer

Hugo Race

yearning

here shall we live in this terrible town
where the price for our eyes shall squeeze them tight like a fist
and the walls shall have eyes 
and the doors shall have ears
but we'll dance in the dark 
and they'll play with our lives

like a slow burn leading us on and on and on
like a slow burn turning us round and round and round
but who are we? So small in times such as these
slow burn, slow burn


David Bowie (*)

Where We Begin

blindlessness

you can test me all you want
I ain't changin'
and you can taunt me all you like
but I ain't sayin'

you can push me all you dare
I ain't movin'
and you can please me all you need
but I ain't decidin'


Micah P. Hinson (*)

She was gone, and the coldness of it was her final gift. She died somewhere in the dark... there is no other tale to tell.


The Road

won't we?

If you love me and I’m weak, then weaker you must love me more,
(...)
And in the morning we’ll wrestle and ruin our stomachs with coffee,
Won’t we be, won’t we be, won’t be so happy?

(*)

Bonnie 'Prince' Billy

as a reminder

We got empty tummies but it won't always be
One day it's gonna be quail and dumplings for we


Bonnie 'Prince' Billy

I’ll say goodbye before we meet
It’s not who I am
It’s who I’ll never be.

Aos aproveitadores e aos que vêem nas contas de cêntimos uma borracha para o sentimento de culpa:

Ide-vos todos foder!

Tornámo-nos dois idiotas que gerem equívocos com pinças. Desenvolvemos a fórmula, pesamos cada grama, mantemos o espaço impecavelmente estéril, como se a segurança do laboratório pudesse conter a explosão.

As perdas vivem-se na solidão. De nada lhe servem as parcas palavras que se conseguem articular. Nada o substituirá.
De fora assiste-se, de coração apertado, com a impotência de quem sabe que só o tempo lento vai tornar a dor mais suportável.


p.s. - abraço apertado em ti.

Estou farta da tua existência em papel, em burocracia, em ansiedade. Há tanto que deixaste de ser e não termina. É brutalmente violento que o teu fim tenha que ser declarado judicialmente ou com reconhecimento notarial de assinaturas. Não bastam as cicatrizes?

Boreas

thaw. unfreezing.

Will the dwindling ice bear our weight much longer?

calm. windless.

When comes the wind that billows our words' sails?

heart pregnant. in expectation.

Will it be a south wind that drives us to the north?

small ice age. foundlings.

Or will only Boreas get us on

the desired course?

in no time.

What nameless others does the storm which seizes us now already carry?

only glacier comrades

Is it certain that the land in sight is not part of the Arctic?

it's already taken so long...

tauwetter. schmelzfvorgänge.

Schwindet unter uns nicht allmählich das tragende Eis?
flaute. windstill.
Wann kommt der Wind der unsrer Worte Segel bläht ?
herzschwanger. in erwartung.
Wird es ein Südwind sein der uns nach Norden treibt?
kleine eiszeit. findlinge.
Oder bringt uns nur Boreas auf den Kurs den Wünschenswerten?
im nu.
Welche namelosen Anderen schon trägt der Sturm der uns jetzt fasst?
nur gletschergenossen
Ist es sicher, dass das Land in Sicht nicht noch Teil der Arktis ist?

es dauert doch so lange schon...]

"Only to find everything had grown"

I am a cinematographer
I am a cinematographer
O, I am a cinematographer
O, I am a cinematographer

And I walked away from New York city
And I walked away from everything that's good
And I walked away from everything I leaned on
Only to find it's made of wood, made of wood

And I was a big ol' bear once
O, I was a big ol' bear once
O, I was a big ol' bear once
O, I was a big ol' bear once

And I walked away from California
And I walked away from everything that's shown
And I walked away from everything I lived for
Only to find everything had grown, everything had grown

Now, I am a cinematographer
O, I am a cinematographer
O, I am a cinematographer
O, I am a cinematographer

If you were alone
You could walk away from Louisville alone

Não! Não quero! Não é este o sonho.

"Tomei a mais masculina das atitudes: fugir..." É uma frase forte e simples. Tem estilo, força, precisão assassina - enfim, tudo qualidades que ultimamente tenho andado a perder

beware

When you can't find your heart but your body keeps moving
When you can't tell your life apart from your dreams
Follow the lights into the valley
Gently respond to the pull of a string

Bonnie 'Prince' Billy

[o meu exemplo de respeito, partilha e companheirismo dura há 43 anos!]

Com o capítulo da perda encerrado, resta-me perceber a coerência.

Don’t wanna fall into your eyes again
Don’t wanna lose myself into this light
I could be the one to die in pain

Don’t wanna fall into this trap again
Don’t wanna lose myself into this fight
I could be the one to die in pain

But if you hold me tight
I’ll kiss you all night
Oh do you love me after all?

Dias tépidos, revolta mansa

A uma escritura de distância de te transformares em nada. É curioso que sejam as formalidades legais a conferir-te uma existência...

Uma das coisas mais tristes que a história nos ensina é que até o passado mente - quanto mais os nossos sentidos, ou o presente ou o futuro...
