Álgebra

Eu sou meia dúzia.
Sou eu inteira
Em meia dúzia
Completa.
Ser dúzia completa?
Seria duas vezes
Mim mesma inteira
A transbordar.
Vai-se um
Chega outro
Multiplica-se um sonho
Raiz quadrada de uma ilusão
E continuo inteira
Meia
Dúzia.

Inferno

I have had a burning passion.
So in love that
it consumed me.
Living the high
of giving myself entirely
to love.

And then I was cinders.

It was a flame
then a fire
then just ashes.

I was the ashes.
Because as high as I have flown,
as hard and deep was my fall.

But I have the badge,
I know how it feels
and how short it is doomed to be.

It’s life wrecking
and oh! so worth the pain.
