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.

MONDAY




MONDAY

(© Patrícia Evans)

.
Because tomorrow will be Monday,
today I've eaten everything wrong,
worked wrong,
went out wrong.
Because tomorrow will be Monday,
today I haven't sweat a drop,
I didn't even climb the stairs,
I wrote cheap poetry,
laughed at my own jokes,
felt in love with life;
I didn't cook,
didn't make the bed,
didn't get past the third decade of the rosary,
almost called the firefighters,
and yet I will go to bed face down,
and turn my back to you.
Because tomorrow will be Monday,
today I'm what the devil wants.
