Adormeço
cansada dos dias,
de acreditar;
de ver estender-se
à minha volta
um abismo de tempo.
Quando estávamos juntos
o tempo nunca houve.
Enquanto explorava as minhas gavetas,
enquanto descobria os
espaços silenciosos da nossa varanda,
enquanto você dormia,
eu me perdi nas tuas horas.
I fall asleep
too tired for another day,
too tired to believe;
to continue watching
as an abyss of time
extends in every direction
around me.
When we were together
time was non-existent.
While you were exploring my drawers
or discovering silent spots in our yard,
while you were sleeping
I lost myself in your hours.
