'''Poetry from Brazil'''
Dear Sirs:

I am a brazilian poet (born in Rio de Janeiro) interested in publishing my work in english language. I am taking the liberty to send some of my poems already translated to english, aiming for their possible edition by the prestigious inter/face. I am also sending a brief biobibliographical note.

Yours faithfully,

Jorge Lucio de Campos (Brazil).

P. S. Please feel free for making any corrections in my texts. Sorry for the bad english!

'''WHITE MILL'''
''for Günther Uecker''

Fingers on
the mirror

beg for a
thread –

the half of
what they say

they are
and always

watch –
physical

'''MOINHO BRANCO'''
''a Günther Uecker''

Dedos no
espelho

suplicam
um fio –

a metade
do que

dizem ser
e olham

sempre
físicos

----

'''STARTING WITH'''

To see the
other side
flutter-

ing the
nocturnal
vocation

of filling
(draining)

–

I even like
and burn –
I increase

a sun that
always give
me colours –

if it still
says that
the wind

blows –
in brief
: that

'''A PARTIR'''

Ver o
outro lado
borbole-

tear a
vocação
noturna

de encher
desaguar

–

Até gosto
e queimo
(encorpo)

aquele sol
sempre
dá cores

se ainda
diz que
o vento

lufa –
em resumo
: isso

----

'''JUST A MINUTE'''

Paler than a
human face

or the launching
of a glare

Absolutely not
a rainy day

'''UM MINUTO APENAS'''

Mais alvo do que
um rosto humano

ou um despejo
de olhar furioso

Não de todo
um dia de chuva

----

'''OUT OF SIGHT'''

There's a verbal
delight on the

canvas of
the night

I will know
it in a slow

frowning

Till I oblige
myself

to stay
in myself –

far and near
of myself

'''A PERDER DE VISTA'''

Há um prazer
verbal na tela

da noite

Sabê-lo-ei
num franzir

sem pressa

Até que me
obrigue a

ficar em

mim mesmo –
longe e perto

de mim mesmo

----

'''FLYING FIGURE'''
''for Louise Bourgeois''

Ambiguous like everything
on this side of the window

In the course it always
says other things

from the bottom as
each one uses to be

in heaps – at the edge
of a plausible whisper

A spittle plotted
by slow licks

Injections so
full of life

'''FIGURA VOADORA'''
''a Louise Bourgeois''

Ambígua como tudo
aliás aquém da janela

No decurso sempre
outra coisa diz

do fundo como
cada um costuma ser

aos montes à beira do
murmúrio plausível

Saliva urdida em
lambidas lentas

Assim tão cheias
injeções de vida
