Quem faz a seleção?
O próprio sujeito, a memória,
a cultura e a linguagem.

Is it for this that I have given away
Mine ancient wisdom, and austere control?

nothing for the memory to hold,
though mine as long as I look.

Metaphors teach the mind
to enjoy error
and to learn
from the juxtaposition of what is and what is not the case.

WHY ISN’T IT OKAY TO SAY THERE ARE
THINGS WE HAVE NOT SURVIVED?

GIVE ME THE PALM OF YOUR
HAND.

I’d like to be kind to myself
in every way.

Fósforo y fósforo en la oscuridad,
lágrima y lágrima en la polvareda.
