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.

I RAIN


I RAIN
(© Patrícia Evans)
.
Muddy body,
slimy spirit
and my wet vision doesn't identify you near.
All my flesh is drenched with water.
All my soul is imortally drowned.

You will not come as usual, it's clear.

Days of dryness,
days of wild heats
and days of harsh heart beats.

Days of atrocious storms
when I re-born,
days when I die,
that I feel myself aside
and days I'm out of bounds.
.
But when I don't feel you around,
when you don't hear my claim,
these are days I always rain.
