MUSIC AND POETRY

there are days without a subject worthy of record
anyway
poetry doesn't need a theme
but to be itself
mystery dream tempo tone music
classic atonal dodecaphonic electronic concrete jazz
music that raises the hair
shives the skin
shakes the mind
until extinguished
in the sleeping
bodies

MÚSICA E POESIA

há dias sem assunto digno de registo
de qualquer forma
a poesia não precisa de tema
mas sim de ser ele própria
mistério sonho tempo tom música
clássica atonal dodecafónica electrónica concreta jazz
música que erice os cabelos
arrepie a pele
agite a mente
até se extinguir
nos corpos
adormecidos
