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."

Robert E. Sheridan

Mr. Sheridan had been an editor for the New York Times for 32 years. He is also a poet, and a father.

PIOR


PIOR
(© Patrícia Evans)


Antes que o sol se ponha
expõe a pele ao calor
e antes da vela e da ronda
traz o santo ao andor
Veste o manto antes do inverno
e colhe o trigo na estação
Não arrisque o inferno
morrendo sem confissão
nem o bisturi afiado
antes da anestesia
e muito menos tê-la fria
ou vestida de descaso
por se deixar o momento
escapar por entre os dedos
Nada mais triste que um beijo
que chega na boca atrasado
