A. M. Pires Cabral

TO A ROOSTER

That creature that affronted the dawn
with its acidic, assiduous voice.
That had spurs for its bayonet
and seethed with red envy.

The rooster. One of its bones
still lying in the yard.

A UM GALO

A UM GALO

Aquele que injuriava a madrugada
com ácida, assídua voz.
O que tinha esporões por baioneta,
o do ciúme em brasa.

O galo. Um osso dele
ainda no quintal.
A. M. Pires Cabral
