:: retalhos e recortes #12 ::

não resisto. sou uma surripiadora de poemas. ontem, descobri o Juan Gelman graças ao Epicentro. hoje, encontrei este poema (às minhas memórias necessário) à janela:



Beyond all this, the wish to be alone:
However the sky grows dark with invitation-cards
However we follow the printed directions of sex
However the family is photographed under the flag-staff -
Beyond all this, the wish to be alone.

Beneath it all, the desire for oblivion runs:
Despite the artful tensions of the calendar,
The life insurance, the tabled fertility rites,
The costly aversion of the eyes away from death -
Beneath it all, the desire for oblivion runs.

Philip Larkin
