#430

(image by Kenia Cris)

Descendo a Rua Solitude
outro dia
vi uma casa na
Travessa dos Amantes
que poderia ser minha

Porta vermelha
Clarabóia
duas cadeiras brancas
sentadas na varanda

Com a primavera
e um Coração de Leão
eu poderia plantar
margaridas

Mas é só janeiro
e ainda faz frio.


Coming down Solitude Street
the other day
I spotted a house
I could afford
on Lovers Lane

Red door
skylight
two white chairs
sitting on the porch

With spring
and a Lionheart in the air
I could grow daisies

But it's only January
and it's still too cold.

    Estou enganado em pensar que não é um só poema em versão bilíngue? Pois na versão em inglês esse frio parecerá tão natural; mas em português se faz extemporâneo. E muito mais simbólico!

    Encontrarei essas ruas no Google Earth?

    Beijo, Kenia.

    Pois que as margaridas sejam plantadas em sonhos e fantasias, já que a imaginação ainda não esfria.

    Tudo de bom,

    I really love stumbling through your poems in Spanish and then having you correct and amplify my understanding in English. This is a tight and evocative bit of writing, Kenia. Enjoyed it very much.

    Beautiful lines that sound effortless; especially enjoyed the second stanza.

    Beautiful and a little sad - just the way I like it. Two chairs remind me of Thoreau and what he says about having one chair for solitude, two for friendship, and that if there's company they'll have to stand (or something like it).

    Be well, dear Kenia
