coalho / blood clot


Do tinido agudo
A impiedosa dor
Face à vida, tão letal!
De um prazer mudo,
faz-se o suspiro
mesquinho e banal;
logo coalho vem
das pútridas raízes,
do âmago amargo,
o gosto vesano
que a morte tem!

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

From the acute clatter,
The grim pain
Front to life, so lethal!
Beyond the dumb pleasure
the sigh arises,
selfish and trite,
soon blood clot comes
from the putrid veins,
from the bitter heart,
the insane taste
that death has!
