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."

OBSTIPAÇÃO

OBSTIPAÇÃO
(© Patrícia Evans)
.
Eu tomei emprestado
alguns fios de seu cabelo,
uns gemidos, uns ais,
um pouco do seu cheiro,
umas digitais,
alguns espermatozóides,
uns versinhos mentirosos,
olhares maliciosos,
e outras coisas banais,
que eu não quero mais,
que eu nem mais preciso,
e poderia dar fim.

Mas se eu as devolver,
se as queimar,
ou se as jogar no lixo,
o que vai sobrar de mim?
