To get a sense of the infinite

waterboys | this is the sea

the way a photographer, when he sets up
a shot of sea or desert out to the edge of the horizon,
has to get something large and close-up into the picture -
a branch, a chair, a boulder, the corner of a house,
to get a sense of the infinite, and he forgets about the sea
and the desert - that’s how i love you.

Yehuda Amichai

En el momento justo en que el sueño se encuentra con esos ojos abiertos

dark dark dark | daydreaming

No debiera ser posible dormirse sin tener cerca
una voz para poderse despertar.
No debiera ser posible
dormirse sin tener cerca
la propia voz para poderse despertar.
No debiera ser posible
dormirse sin despertar
en el momento justo en que el sueño se encuentra
con esos ojos abiertos
que ya no necesitan dormir más.

Roberto Juarroz

(And when the sky drops all those feathers)

alela diane | oh my mama

Nenhum amor é estéril, um filho
pode ser uma estrela ou ser um verso.

Eugénio de Andrade 

Darkness sometimes falls right in the middle of an embrace

nick cave | the sweetest embrace

when a man grows older, his life becomes less dependent
on the rhythms of time and its seasons. darkness sometimes
falls right in the middle of an embrace
of two people at a window; or a summer comes to an end
during a love affair, while the love goes on
into autumn; or a man dies suddenly in the middle of speaking
and his words remain there on either side; or the same rain
falls on the one who says goodbye and goes
and on the one who says it and stays; or a single thought
wanders through cities and villages and many countries
in the head of a man who is travelling.
