Um verso

O vento só move enquanto cede à demora.




K. A. Gulias

Tempo of ripples

Writing about self
sets up a strife.
The judgment of a bird
stilled by one or two riddles:
One green apple and
the other ripen.
Engraving that grounds translation.

Now mature, it asks for continuation.
Listen.

We compare word and time
when we touch water.

Tempo of ripples.

The two apples, two fallen angels.
Two skies mirrored to read you a letter.
To read you a word.
Or to say aw!

My you, my saying
in a single and many words.

Mere coincidence?

Vicente Huidobro

El cementerio de los soldados

La sombra que cae de los árboles
Se ha mojado en el agua
____ No se ve el viento
_______ Pero el bosque metálico
_______ Canta como un órgano

Allí está
_______ La Francia de ayer bajo la hierba
_______ Más bella que una mujer desnuda
La tierra aún tibia
Guarda los últimos secretos
_______ Donde yacen todas las manos cortadas
Una campana tañe
Tras las nubes
_______ Vuelta hacia el océano filial
_______ Llamaba a alguiem

SILENCIO   SILENCIO


Hasta cuando sangrarán la vida

La misma luna herida
No tiene sino una ala
_______ El corazón hizo su nido
_______ En medio del vacio
Sin embargo
__ Al borde del mundo florecen las encinas

Y LA PRIMAVERA VIENE SOBRE LAS GOLONDRINAS

More of Basho

As a brief introduction to the following translation of one of Basho's famous poems "Akebono ya.", I would like to make it clear that it is a transcreation and there is no intention from my part in dealing with language in a conventional way of grasping meaning. Without losing the freedom to play with the words, the translation is focused on the original poem's sound and overall meaning. As a result I created a poem using super-position of images, which I hope can give us another interpretation for Basho's "Akebono ya."


Poem in Japanese (transliterated):


akebono ja

shirauo shiroki
koto issun

Matsuo Basho



Translation:



wake-bone rise
snow-white achovy
one pale inch

Brasil... que país é esse?


Carnaval de porcos, escravocratas, mercenários.

Brasil, que país é esse?

Poço de lama, cemitério de baleias extintas. Futuro............ sem mora

Brasil, que país é esse?

Há 500 anos orgulhoso hospedeiro de parasitas. Casa de facções partidárias. Desmitificador de terra e alma.

Brasil, que país é esse?

Igreja universal da ignorância humana. Não da falta de conhecimento, mas da falta de pensamento.

Political Propaganda -- The World's Misery

I do not understand. Since when advertising pretty lies about your country to the world became more important than fighting for social equality and better quality of life?

The Brazilian people are politically and rightfully fighting against the World Cup and the Olympic Games. Many are even trying to boycott the World Cup. And to me it is also fair. There are priorities that must be accounted for. Brazil is not in a good position to hold any World Cup YET. The World Cup and the Olympic Games do not bring profit to anyone but the people already in power and investors. 

Why are people from the USA or UK or wherever complaining about the Brazilians for badmouthing their country?

Most of the Brazilians do not give a shit about the world's view of our country. Do you know why? Because they are used to poverty, physical and political violence and corruption making a misery of their lives; Brazilians are used to the first world countries taking advantage of our weaknesses and making profit on them. Thus Brazilians are used to and tired of the manipulating power of the media, the devastating power of politicians, and thus tired of the World's lies and machinery of destruction for the sake of POWER. Many Brazilians do not care about investors because they cannot see one; do not care about Brazil's economic power because they do not have money, a house or a good job; do not care about tourists because their own country do not care about them. We are all tired of political lies and propaganda with no other interest but to attract investments. It is all meaningless to us, as much meaningless as the present world's economic crisis. Brazilians are TIRED...

Away

I'm sorry but due to my MA I'll not be posting in my blog for quite a while.

A little song for today though:
