A vast whiteness,&lt;br /&gt;A transparency-layer upon the people.  Look:&lt;br /&gt;I do not look at you with your eye that knows&lt;br /&gt;Almost everything in you is transient.  My liquid-eye&lt;br /&gt;Discovers a spent afternoon, a dawn-afternoon, &lt;br /&gt;An elongated time where you made your widowhood.&lt;br /&gt;You did not lose the woman or man you loved. We loved so much&lt;br /&gt;And loss is daily and infinite.  That’s not it&lt;br /&gt;NOW&lt;br /&gt;When I see you and I know of an elongated Time-Afternoon-Dawn.&lt;br /&gt;You looked ahead, or beside you, or above you,&lt;br /&gt;Or you didn’t look at all, or suddenly someone came into your living room&lt;br /&gt;And you said clearly: should I say yes to the folks from the Extens Union?&lt;br /&gt;Which yes?  To whom?  And am I myself, this person here?&lt;br /&gt;Distance, mysterious incongruence, me myself?&lt;br /&gt;His mouth continues: deadline loss ten percent final solution&lt;br /&gt;Final final solution… You fold whole with much sobriety&lt;br /&gt;The document in the last drawer, over to the left… My Father,&lt;br /&gt;Between paper and me, between this table and me&lt;br /&gt;And this whole gaping mouth, between me myself and he&lt;br /&gt;Who repeats Union Union, which filament?  Anchor,&lt;br /&gt;Coagulated time, one day I was all rest and herding. One day&lt;br /&gt;Everything was me, bulb that seduced, soothsaying gullet,&lt;br /&gt;Viscous fat howl, I howled between the grapevines, I howled&lt;br /&gt;Because I know about this NOW,&lt;br /&gt;That the bitch of Time gnawed at me, that is was going to gnaw, that it growled while gnawing me&lt;br /&gt;Bitch-time, you and I… what contour of nothing, what gone thing&lt;br /&gt;In this double adventure, that… that yes, that yes… Look:&lt;br /&gt;Say yes to those from the Extens Union.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Ária Amaríssima de um instante&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SOBRE mim o sudário das coisas. Brandura extensa&lt;br /&gt;Camada-transparência sobre as gentes. Vê só:&lt;br /&gt;Eu não te olho com o teu olho que sabe&lt;br /&gt;Que quase tudo em ti é transitório. Meu olho-liquidez&lt;br /&gt;Descobre uma tarde esvaída, tarde-madrugada&lt;br /&gt;Tempo alongado onde te fizeste em viuvez.&lt;br /&gt;Não perdeste a mulher ou o homem que amavas. Amamos tanto&lt;br /&gt;E a perda é cotidiana e infinita. Não é isso&lt;br /&gt;AGORA&lt;br /&gt;Quando te olho e sei de um Tempo-Tarde-Madrugada alongada.&lt;br /&gt;Olhaste à tua frente, ou do lado ou acima de ti&lt;br /&gt;Ou não olhaste, ou de repente alguém entrou na tua sala&lt;br /&gt;E disse claramente: devo dizer que sim àqueles da Extens Union?&lt;br /&gt;Que sim? A quem? E sou eu mesmo, este que está aqui?&lt;br /&gt;Distância, sigilosa incongruência, eu mesmo?&lt;br /&gt;A boca do outro continua: prazo perda dez por cento solução final...&lt;br /&gt;Solução final final... Te dobras inteiro com muita sobriedade&lt;br /&gt;O documento na última gaveta, bem à esquerda... Meu Pai,&lt;br /&gt;Entre o papel e eu, entre esta mesa e eu&lt;br /&gt;E essa boca inteira debulhada, entre eu mesmo e aquele&lt;br /&gt;Que repete Union Union, que filamento? Âncora,&lt;br /&gt;Tempo coagulado, um dia fui descanso e pastoreio. Um dia&lt;br /&gt;Tudo era eu, bulbo que seduzia, goela clarividente&lt;br /&gt;Uivo gordo viscoso, uivei entre as parreiras, uivei&lt;br /&gt;Porque sabia deste AGORA,&lt;br /&gt;Que a cadela do Tempo me roia, ia roer, rosnava me roendo &lt;br /&gt;Cadela-tempo, tu e eu... que contorno de nada, que coisa ida&lt;br /&gt;Nossa dúplice aventura, que... que sim, que sim...

I speak of another yellow.&lt;br /&gt;While I write a verse, you who never read me&lt;br /&gt;Smile when someone speaks to you about my verse.&lt;br /&gt;To you, a poet is like an ornament, and you change the subject:&lt;br /&gt;“My precious time cannot be wasted on poets.”&lt;br /&gt;Brother of my moment: when I die&lt;br /&gt;Something infinite also dies.  It’s hard to say it:&lt;br /&gt;A POET’S LOVE DIES.&lt;br /&gt;And this is so large that your gold cannot buy it,&lt;br /&gt;And so rare, that that smallest piece is so vast&lt;br /&gt;That it doesn’t fit in my corner.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Enquanto faço o verso, tu decerto vives.&lt;br /&gt;Trabalhas tua riqueza, e eu trabalho o sangue.&lt;br /&gt;Dirás que sangue é o não teres teu ouro&lt;br /&gt;E o poeta te diz: compra o teu tempo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Contempla o teu viver que corre, escuta&lt;br /&gt;O teu ouro de dentro. É outro o amarelo que te falo.&lt;br /&gt;Enquanto faço o verso, tu que não me lês&lt;br /&gt;Sorris, se do meu verso ardente alguém te fala.&lt;br /&gt;O ser poeta te sabe a ornamento, desconversas:&lt;br /&gt;"Meu precioso tempo não pode ser perdido com os poetas".&lt;br /&gt;Irmão do meu momento: quando eu morrer&lt;br /&gt;Uma coisa infinita também morre. É difícil dizê-lo:&lt;br /&gt;MORRE O AMOR DE UM POETA.&lt;br /&gt;E isso é tanto, que o teu ouro não compra,&lt;br /&gt;E tão raro, que o mínimo pedaço, de tão vasto&lt;br /&gt;Não cabe no meu canto.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Source:&lt;br /&gt;"Poemas aos homens do nosso tempo" in Júbilo memória noviciado da paixão.
