ARMAZEM[i]

Nancy Passy

Splashes of sun                                  Respingos de sol

On a spider´s web                              na teia da aranha

slung between blades                       jogados entre lâminas

of grass                                                 de capim

like a fishing net                                  como uma rede de pesca

.hung to dry.                                         pendurada para secar.

Long soft light                                     Longa luz macia

on fields                                               sobre campos

where grass holds twilinght             onde o capim segura crepúlculos

in its lap,                                              no seu regaço,

and the rich smell                              e o rico cheiro

of earth                                                de terra

when rain hangs heavy                   quando a chuva pende pesada

in the air.                                             no ar.

Autum leaves blowing                     Folhas outonais rodopiando

like restless scraps                         tal como inquietos pedaços

of paper.                                             de papel.

Smiles of light hidden                      Sorrisos de luz escondida

in the sky´s                                         nos celestas

grey restful eyes                                repousantes olhos sombrios

calm as a pool unstirred                 calmo como um lago tranqüilo

- all these I store                               - tudo isto armazeno

to take out                                          para usar

on the lonely day                               em um dia triste.
