MARCELO
Esse termo que você inventou é sensacional: envelhescência. Porque nós temos
dificuldade de definir essa fase.

MARIO
Porque não tem nome. Da fase madura vira velho. Aí comecei a perceber:
É infância, adolescência, maturidade, depois cai pra velhice. Tem que ter um [nome].

Provoca (10/11/2026)
Peço a Deus,
em socorro da minha fraqueza,
abrevie esses dias e me conceda um rosto
de velha mãe cansada, de avó boa,
não me importo. Aspiro mesmo
com impaciência e dor.

A spider walking
in circles is celebrating
the birthday of logic.

Fish head-down in a bucket

Two linen handkerchiefs

How can you have been dead twelve years
and these still
I know you think I’ve forgotten
Jane Hirshfield

but today
in rain

without coat without hat
A hand holds one power,
whose exercise requires the hand be empty.

- Jane Hirshfield
In praise of being peripheral
Jane Hirshfield

Without philosophy,
tragedy,
history,

a gray squirrel
looks
very busy.

Light as a soul
released
from a painting by Bosch,
its greens
and vermilions stripped off it.

He climbs a tree
that is equally ahistoric.

His heart works harder.
silence stitches itself
around hopes, thoughts, and words

A cottony fate
Jane Hirshfield

Long ago, someone
told me: avoid or.

It troubles the mind
as a held-out piece of meat disturbs a dog.

Now I too am sixty.
There was no other life.
Relieved
f.s. yousaf

I am thankful for the ones
that have seen the most of me,
and stayed.
I am thankful for the ones
Who left
Before knowing all of me.
Every day I try to fight my own
brokenness. But once you are forgotten,
it’s not so bad: a heart broken
joins another chorus. Can you hear
the chorus speak? Can you bear
it? The words of apparitions do not belong
to a language. They flit over pines, meaningless,
and shed their skins in your hands.

It is on the stage of contaminated desires that we are most pressed
to reconsider the politics of recognition.

- Anne Anlin Cheng
O essencial é saber ver,
Saber ver sem estar a pensar,
Saber ver quando se vê,
E nem pensar quando se vê,
Nem ver quando se pensa.

determinar o Não Eu por meio do Eu
- Byung-Chul Han, Filosofia do zen-budismo
