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.

YOUR HEART

YOUR HEART

Click.
Lights off.
Curtain - rissssssssssssssssssssssk.
Silent home and
She insits;
Knock. Knock. Knock.
Strong knock
And loud voice
“Is anybody here?”

Suddenly a face
Pastes its nose at the window – Pam!
The warm puff
Blurs the glass - arrrrrrrrrrrffffffffffffffff.
Two eyes blink,
Wide open and fixed on her,
Liquefy red – pinnnnng…
Huge mouth
Of vast darkness
And endless saliva
“No. No one is here.”
Tum-tum. Tum-tum-Tum-tum.
“No one
.”
