Cantos do Amanhecer

Ao raiar do sábado, 
Fran encontra 
seu farol, 
os corredores 
do ame deixados 
para trás, 
Fran, no descanso 
do sol, vê o pouco 
crescer, 
no espelho

Halfway through the grave lines
Of a flowing sonnet
A cherry verse fastened to the rhyming boughs
Of mine rhythmic apricot, muse

Seized all, began ~ writing furiously 
Regarding, life, death and cantos of love…

Baring all or perhaps nothing at all
Loosing all or perhaps nothing at all…...

Tension grips:
when you try to open
the jarred doors-

of the death.
It was on old friend,
on the cusp-

selling the dirt.
Was it the ending of

Who will go
beyond the dead 
to find the immortal ?

You have left 
many cantos unfinished.
I will try, will try

to join the dots,
the dashes,
the parentheses.

Grünes Paradies
Am Seitenarm der Mandau
Neben der Strasse

Helles Vogelgezwitscher
Aus den Sträuchern am Ufer

Green paradise
At a side arm of the Mandau
So close by the street

Bright bird's twitter
From the shrubs at the shore

---------------------------------

Verde paraíso 
Al ramal del Río Mandau
Cerca de la calle

Cantos vivos de pájaros
De los arbustos en la orilla...
