#450


Os dias inacabados amontoam-se
na minha janela
os dias em que abracei o silêncio
até que passassem por mim
até que eu passasse por eles
de olhos fechados
tateando paredes
no escuro.


Unfinished days drift at my window
days when I embraced silence
until they had gone past me
until I had gone past them
with my eyes closed
groping for walls
in the dark.

  1. Olhos fechados estão alheios aos limites.
    Onde não se enxerga o fim há sempre mais a ser perseguido!
    Abraço!

  5. eyes closed. unfinished days still unfinished, still out there drifting along.
    sometimes all we can do is keep our eyes closed and hope for the best.

    take care, Kenia.
