Gedicht
Carlos de Oliveira
An Instant
This columnof firmer syllables,
this flame
on the summit of the dunes
flaring
for just a moment,
this balance
so close to beauty,
this poem
just before
the wind.

Instante
Instante
Esta colunade sílabas mais firmes,
esta chama
no vértice das dunas
fulgurando
apenas um momento,
este equilíbrio
tão perto da beleza,
este poema
anterior
ao vento.
