Amor, o que veio contigo,
Chamei, Elisa, minha gata vira-latas
e Deus, o colo confortável que preciso.
O nome que te dei foi alma gêmea.
Rótulos para cada coisa:
metas, para meus sonhos,
erros, para meus pecados,
saudade, para tua ausência,
medo, para teu deboche,
paixão, para indecência.
E agora na tua partida,
que nome dou ao que fica?

LABELS AND NAMES
( © Patricia Evans)
I called my angel _ Miguel
and I called what you brought me _ love
I called my nonthoroughbred cat _ Elisa
and the comfortable chest sometimes
I need to lean into _ God.
I called you my soulmate.
I have labels for everything:
I call dreams 'goals'
I call sins 'mistakes'
I call saudade your 'absence'
I call fear your 'sarcasm'
I call indecency 'passion'
...
And now that you are gone,
what should I call what's left?

Void? Music of aloneness?

Hey Tricia! Actually the title U've used [Labels & Names] is original, and I feel the best to use, but it's Ur work, U must decide... Poe's humour just tickled me as the very same thought came to my mind...

Brilliant piece! Ideally poewhit's suggestion [The Past] would be well suited, heh... somehow I don't think that label is going to be apt enough. Another great write!
