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

O PASSARINHO VERDE DO AMOR



O PASSARINHO VERDE DO AMOR
(© Patrícia Evans)
.
Meninas, cês viram?
Viram passarinho verde?
Pega! Pega!
Põe na gaiola, encarcera, encaixota!
Não deixa ele voar pra longe,
não deixa ele voaaaaaaaaaar,
que tão difícil é a arte de amar...

Passarinho verde foi-se!

Quando escapa assim, dói,
quando escapa assim, mói
coração.

Uma tanta tristeza
que Deus se apiedará.

Bem,
pelo menos de verde,
não ficará amarelo,
nem apodrecerá.
