Waking into a deeper sleepI remember your eyes, half-closed and hesitating
so as not to swallow the salt of words
and how you mothered every ounce of death
throbbing in our throats when the evening came
drumming its hooves at the doorstep;

I remember the fiery sway
of smoke-curtains and swollen syllables
scraping our retinas like carefully broken glass,
the nausea of doubt like rusty wounds
and my arms stretched across the Atlantic
as if to part the waves into fractions
of fractions of fractions just to get
a different perspective of things.

There was always something
deeply nocturnal about your gaze,
how it waited in sync with mine
for the gargantuan

farpasnunca te menti. tu sabes isso.
também sabes que não há volta a dar.
sempre to disse.

assim me sento, sabes, em vigia constante
e incansável sobre a sombra da minha sombra
como um formigueiro debaixo da língua indecisa,
teimoso em ver a morte morder a minha mão febril
sem saber se é silêncio ou labareda
este som que arrepia o pó das minhas pálpebras
quando finjo dormir.

o coração, esse, há muito me empurra para Oeste
com o veneno que nos é tudo.

I wasn't meant to fly, you know,
she sings with a frown,
Winter clinging to her bones
and swollen veins--
and I never asked to be hurled
onto the wind's path like this.

All of this dust that we gather
in our chaliced hands
means nothing,
nothing at all;

I am but the bitter limb
of an Autumned tree
and the withered child
of a stubborn moon;
it was always thus
and always thus will be.

I tug at her strings
with rain-harp hands
and shiver, shiver,
shiver:

My wings are but silhouettes;
bitter, bitter silhouettes, you see;
I've watched birds fly like sonatas
and always wondered
how they do it.

I wish not to fly, though,
I
