Construo estradas 
feitas de partidas

e gasto todos os meus desejos
em bolinhas de gude

quer os dias amanheçam com 
borboletas ou demônios berrantes. 


I build roads
out of departures

and spend all my wishes
in marbles

whether days come with
butterflies or screaming demons.

  1. ...spend all my wishes in marbles...

    These line hurt to read, especially for one who has lived through too many departures. It's hard to see the butterflies when your heart is broken.

  3. Um dia você ganha todas as bolinhas de gude de dentro do triângulo formado por estradas.

    Isso tá bonito demais!

    Beijo, Kenia.

  4. "I build roads
    out of departures"

    for some reason that especially speaks to me, but I agree with Kerry about the marbles...

  6. Como caminhar sem partir? Este é o truque da estrada, aprender a seguir.

  8. I love "whether days come with butterflies or screaming demons"....and "I make roads out of departures". That is a brilliant line. We all do, actually, but I never thought of it that way before.
