                              ESCONDIDO

 

 

                    Se prestássemos realmente atenção,

                    se percebêssemos com atenção e certeza,

                    poderíamos nos despertar.

                    Seria um tremor de terra!

                    Seria um maremoto!

                    Tudo treme!

                    Tudo desmorona!

                    E cai.

 

                    E recai

                    sobre nós-mesmos.

 

                    Ninguém sabe

                    se é possível

                    escapar

                    dessa catástrofe.

 

                    Mas aparentemente

                    tudo está calmo,

                    mesmo se contudo

                    pode-se sentir

                    sutilmente

                    um odor ácido e

                    destrutivo.

 

                    Alguma coisa está podre.

                                       Si l`on faisait vraiment attention,

                                       si l`on se rendait assurément compte,

                                       on pourrait se secouer.

                                       Ce serait un tremblement de terre!

                                       Ce serait un raz-de-marée!

                                       Tout bouge!

                                       Tout s` écroule!

                                       Et tombe!

 

                                       Et ça tombe

                                       sur nous- mêmes.

 

                                       Personne ne sait

                                       s`il est possible

                                       d`échapper

                                       à cette catastrophe.

 

                                       Apparemment

                                       tout est calme,

                                       même si cependant,

                                       on peut sentir

                                       subtilement

                                       une odeur acide et

                                       destructive.

 

                                       Quelque chose est pourrie.
