Thom Gunn

 The Man with Night Sweats

I wake up cold, I who
Prospered through dreams of heat 
Wake to their residue, 
Sweat, and a clinging sheet. 

My flesh was its own shield: 
Where it was gashed, it healed.

I grew as I explored 
The body I could trust 
Even while I adored
The risk that made robust,

A world of wonders in
Each challenge to the skin.

I cannot but be sorry
The given shield was cracked,
My mind reduced to hurry, 
My flesh reduced and wrecked.

I have to change the bed, 
But catch myself instead

Stopped upright where I am 
Hugging my body to me 
As if to shield it from 
The pains that will go through me,
      
As if hands were enough 
To hold an avalanche off.

Ben LaMar Gay

 

Soberbo.

An Injury to One

 

Eis como o mundo roda e roda e roda - e o essencial permanece tragicamente inalterado.

An Injury to One: brihante na sua articulação de palavras e de imagens.

An Injury to One (Travis Wilkerson, EUA, 2003)

Maus Fígados
