Às vezes
sinto que sou
só um homem de neve
num globo de vidro
perto demais da beirada da mesa.
Sometimes I feel
I am just a snowman
trapped in a glass globe
sitting too close to
the edge of the table.

I love this sad but beautifully nostalgic impression...fantastic writing!!! :) April
ReplyDeleteNão precisa nada mais. Perfeito. E, claro, lembrei do Cidadão Kane, o globo rolando a escada, se não me falha a memória...
ReplyDeleteBeijão.
I love your lines of fragility. I imagine the fine leaves you write them on far too delicate to be picked up by hands as rough as mine. Even eyes tread softly. This one, again, is beautiful, fragile and lonely. Thanks for sharing it Kenia
ReplyDeleteE tantos dias sinto bem mais do que isso.
ReplyDeleteQuando tudo desaba e nos engole no tempo que passa.

Your work never seems to cease to amaze me Kenia what a marvellous sentiment and as always expertly crafted my friend.
ReplyDeletethis was amazing - such few words - such a depth of meaning..fantastic!
ReplyDeleteOne of the best poems I've read this week - it joins "poembyninotaziz" (#80) in that regard - it's short, every word stunningly effective. Something we should all be striving for, as poets. :)
ReplyDeletecertos momentos nos lembram como é frágil o fio que nos liga aos outros e à vida...
ReplyDeletebeijo!
Andei meio ausente por vários motivos, porém estou voltando
ReplyDeleteabraços e aguardo sua visita no Rembrandt!
e ficar parado, nessas situações, é um tanto quanto fora de questão..
ReplyDeletebom que quebra o vidro, porque quem vive em pote de conserva é palmito do natal passado. ;D
Por vezes, esses são os momentos em que precisamos cair de facto, para nos reerguermos ainda mais fortes!
ReplyDeleteComo sempre, belíssimo!
Tudo de bom,
Samuel Pimenta.
