CHUVA DE SETEMBRO[i]

Nancy Passy

Rain                                                          Chuva

dancing long-haired                              cabeleira dançante

on the street,                                          na rua,

the lazy music                                         a música languida

of rain                                                       da chuva

dripping from the eaves.                      pingando das calhas.

Rain                                                         Chuva

tuning the earth,                                    preparando a terra

overflowing cups                                   tranbordando cálices

of flowers                                                de flores

stringing glass beads                          encordoando contas de vidro

on leaves and grass                             nas folhas e relvas

After rain                                                 Depois da chuva

cloaking the world                                 enpacotando o mundo

in grey mist,                                            em nevoa cinza

cold and frail                                           fria e efêmera

like summer´s end.                               como o fim de verão.
