Gedicht

EMBANKMENT
In the end when citiesare nothing
but rubble search
through your home
scourged by the water at its banks
for the last mirror and ask:
the lost places the banks
why do you try
to grasp them with the water?

EMBANKMENT
EMBANKMENT
No fim quando as cidadesnão forem senão
escombros procura
na morada flagelada
pela água das margens
o espelho derradeiro e interroga:
os lugares perdidos as margens
por que tentas
prendê-los com a água?
