RAVEN IN HYDE PARK (1989)

With its beak it lifts September’s leaves
in intervals it listens to the music of the birds
then walks across the mottled dawn
It stops again listens then flies low
across the green and chestnut carpeting of time

O CORVO DE HYDE PARK (1989)

O CORVO DE HYDE PARK (1989)

Com o bico levanta as folhas de setembro
Nos intervalos ouve a música dos pássaros
e volta a caminhar sobre a relva manchada
Pára de novo escuta e voa baixo
sobre o tapete verde e castanho do tempo
Close
