The world asks us to believe it.
- Jorie Graham
Sinais valem palavras,
palavras valem coisas,
coisas não valem nada.
Entender é um rapto,
é o mesmo que desentender.

- Adélia Prado
e quando a palavra
é fuga
em sua própria armadilha

- adão ventura
a palavra
sem vestimenta,
nua,

desincorporada

- adão ventura
I used to think everything had meaning.
- William Ward Butler
Theory of mind,

theories of everything—I trained
to be an English teacher for years
before I suffered under a principal

who warned me: pronouns are heavy here,
and I agreed, though we meant
different things, he was telling me

to avoid teaching a part of speech.

- William Ward Butler
I finished the reading and looked up
Changed in the familiar ways. Now for a quiet place
To begin the forgetting. The little delays
Between sensations, the audible absence of rain
Take the place of objects. I have some questions
But they can wait. Waiting is the answer
I was looking for. Any subject will do
So long as it recedes. Hearing the echo
Of your own blood in the shell but picturing
The ocean is what I meant by

- Ben Lerner
Alexa turn off the lights, Alexa feed me
the filament of my display, sloppy picked 
apart grammar

- Alexis N. Garcia
Poetry is the plough that turns up time.
- Osip Mandelstam
The word wanders freely around the thing,
like the soul around an abandoned,
but not forgotten body.

- Osip Mandelstam
Perhaps my whisper was already born before my lips.
My turn shall also come:
I sense the spreading of a wing.

- Osip Mandelstam
Where to start?
Everything cracks and shakes,
The air trembles with similes,
No one world's better than another;
the earth moans with metaphors.

- Osip Mandelstam
Tratado do vazio
Adam Zagajewski

Numa livraria encontrei-me casualmente mesmo ao lado da secção do Tao, 
  mais precisamente do Tratado do Vazio. 
Fiquei feliz, já que nesse dia eu fora completamente vazio. 
Ora essa, que encontro - que raro encontro -, o paciente encontra o 
  médico e o médico fica calado.
