Gastão Cruz

EMBANKMENT

In the end when cities
are nothing
but rubble search

through your home
scourged by the water at its banks
for the last mirror and ask:

the lost places the banks
why do you try
to grasp them with the water?

EMBANKMENT

EMBANKMENT

No fim quando as cidades
não forem senão
escombros procura

na morada flagelada
pela água das margens
o espelho derradeiro e interroga:

os lugares perdidos as margens
por que tentas
prendê-los com a água?
