I KNOW IT'S NOT SO

About Patricia Evans' poetry

"Although I have spent time with Patrícia Evans on three separate occasions, I feel I know Patrícia Evans only through her poetry. She hides nothing, she surrenders everything. It is some of the most powerful poetry I have ever read. And I have read only English translations of her poems, so those who read her in her native Portuguese will experience her even more intimately. They should prepare themselves for imagery, anger, compassion, despair, humor, insight, knowledge of her self and the deepest love for those she loves, especially dad."

FÉRIAS

FÉRIAS
(Patrícia Evans)
.
Alguém viu você
quando dobrou a esquina
e sem saber pra onde ia
entrou no carro e seguiu?
.
Alguém viu?
.
Alguém viu você esperando
colocarem gasolina no tanque,
estancar com pano sujo o sangue,
que saía do porta malas?
.
Sangue de grife, de marca?
.
Alguém viu no reflexo torto
do espelho, o seu rosto
pálido _ enquanto os pneus ralos
esmagavam os pardais?

.
Quem mais?
.
Você guiando em última marcha,
sequer apreciando as paragens
e eu voluntariamente amassada
junto à baderna de suas bagagens.

.
Era sangue de grife,
era sangue de marca!

.
Patrícia Evans
