SOMEWHERE
I search for you
where they wait to be fed.
Through the emptiness
of a crowded square.
There are beggars in doorways,
actors in cafés.
I have seen their mouths
fill like starved refugees.
But I am not from that world.
I wait outside like Lazarus
for crumbs.
I search for you
where they wait to be fed.
Through the emptiness
of a crowded square.
There are beggars in doorways,
actors in cafés.
I have seen their mouths
fill like starved refugees.
But I am not from that world.
I wait outside like Lazarus
for crumbs.
ALGURES
Eu saí para te procurar
onde eles esperam pela comida
Através do vazio
de uma praça lotada de pessoas
Ali há mendigos nos pórticos,
atores nos cafés
observo suas bocas
cheias tal refugiados famintos.
Mas não pertenço a este mundo.
Eu espero aqui fora como Lázaro
pelas migalhas.
