- 2 days ago - 3 comments

Angola, crossing the River Cuílo on a raft, 1966

Speaking to me addiction while I write to me in comma's solitude hindrances of thought in dots' silence paragraphs of everything weaved in the game of words that we lose cause we repeat things that pressure the blood too much more than veins and the beds where we silently fall asleep don't belong to us.

Agatha UKEO

- 06 Apr 2025 - 4 comments

For a long time I would like to talk to you about a fabulous French artist, Agatha Ukeo, my friend, from my age group but as young as my grandchildren, because her creative mind is airy, colorful, and untimely. She invents characters that seem naïf but they aren't, that resemble comics but they aren't, that resemble fantastic realism and they are.

For Lionel Deyna - Para Lionel Deyna

O essencial intransmissível de mim é muito. Tanta coisa escondida na…

Sand - Areia

- 30 Jan 2025 - 5 comments

The sail-black-flock of seagulls flaps rumour of salt on the beach my eyes blind of light without route over the sea.

Twilight - Crepúsculo

- 22 Jan 2025 - 4 comments

The day runs away from me as if it was the night that invades me I don't demand anything from it not even the last light rays kissing my cold face of December in farewell my hands touch the buch of keys while my feet corsetted by shoes leave me at the house door for my escape of the night that invades me O dia foge de mim como se fosse a noite que me invade não lhe exijo nada nem sequer os últimos raios de luz a beijarem-me o rosto frio de Dezembro em despedida…
