                                                                       A ÁRVORE SIAMESA

 

                                                           O amor começa pelo pé.

                                                           Pela raiz,

                                                           segura-se o vento

                                                           e abana-se

                                                           o tempo que paralisa

                                                           a perna

                                                           da cadeira a esfinge

                                                           mostra a direção,

                                                           a paraplégica roda

                                                           indica o fundo,

                                                           a cisterna,

                                                           onde a árvore submerge.

 

                                                           E sobe.

 

 

                        L’ARBRE SIAMOIS

 

L’amour commence par le pied,

                        par la racine

                        on rattache le vent

                        et on évente

                        le temps qui paralise

                        la jambe,

                        de sa chaise le sphinx

                        montre la direction,

                        la roue paraplégique

                        montre le fond,

                        la citerne,

                        ou l’arbre submerge.

 

                        Et monte.
