Stories of darkness may be secret when the reconstruction of facts is no more than a renewal of blindness the deep hurt of having been absent at the right time when lights were confused forever So I created a hat full of dreams to make things happen Things were never seen or even imagined and I traveled by heavenly woods and lakes full of naked and perfumed nymphs The wonder of my adventures is a mandatory bible for aspiring riders because I have the gift of healing all the ills of this world and all other worlds that may exist When I sing, all the forest creatures dancing drunk and the trees start to levitate My church is my pure blood with which I signed a demonic contract Fantasy is the greatest power of the universe and I was the builder of this

あの日ぼくらは木の幹を起点に激しくこすれあった それはお互いの視界を磨き上げる情事であった ふたりは見えなくなるほど幹を揺すったのだった めまいがしなやかに光景を開くと 突然すべらかな水面が木の間から迫ってきた ぼくらは湖を揺り落としたようだった ぼくらの湖に満月が昇る 今夜は船を出そう 山脈が湖畔に濃い影を落とし つやつやした夜がさざなみと接触する 魚の踊り場まで漕いでいこう そこで笛を吹こう すべての恋しい景色をなぞって 魚が吐く水糸みたいな息を静かに吹き込もう 樹木のうねりが交ざり合う山肌に ぼくらのシルエットが溶け出すまで かわるがわる笛をふきつづけよう 湖が寝息をたてるまで笛の音はこだまする メロディは水草に絡まりながら水を噛み 林の中を駆けめぐる 幹はぼくらの体温を残して揺れている 夜は透明さを増して水面に溶け込む そのためにぼくらはくっきりと目覚めていられるだろう ぼくらの窓辺ではかたらいがつづく

before, during and after every revolution there is a door that closes on a night a city a country a people we find ourselves drinking memories relive memories and everything else but above all we have to laugh or lament for all that we are or that we will never be in this endless domino that is our life

Deuses cegos 03:22
eu sei o que pensas lá no fundo onde nem as memórias se escondem existe um processo inato de compreensão que digere os pequenos sinais da vida deuses cegos como pés de bailarina que paralisados saltam rocambolescos por cima de tudo

目を閉じて さらに閉じて 一番奥の目まで閉じて どのような幻想も残像も見えなくなって 最後の一枚になった膜が 向こう側へとせり出した瞬間に 開いて来る目がある 視界は真に開かれて ただ空間が満ち足りて 静けさで賑わっている 開かれた内奥の目によって 導かれた空が結び合わされると 世界は無傷なまま 覚醒する

They tangled knits around the silences that we feed on the route of eight horizons where the lights disappeared The time will come to make endless sleeps in the southern lands and make love as who makes beautiful trips on dreams Those days have paintings of hoarse voices and sing to weird gods but the true color of the sun is the ephemeral trail where we live

Chance is our great temptation Build a wall or rebuild a castle or even recreate a world city The vertigo of speed, challenge, luck, chance The disturbing anguish of taking decisions and the soft alienation of accepting the facts Despite all the routes and all the extremely clear images, we feel that we are moving in a permanent dense fog Then there’s a piano, there's the music and all the wandering to anywhere And the utter fragility of being and feeling Chance is really our great temptation

Fog flakes 06:09
Your words appear like fog flakes slowly as is fitting to a true storyteller who enjoys the challenge of nothing saying as a devourer mosaic looking for some real sense that simply does not need to exist You told me that one day you have learn to speak like madmen and you knew perfectly the end of games and the end of journeys You have taught me the names of things and of the people with whom you share your laziness You told me about the places where you lived where you left your troubles and your ambitions Or, in other words your fears and your desires that also never managed to say absolutely nothing

Luzires 07:04
Veste a pele arrepios com textura de borbulhas. Ela é néscia, mal sabe o que lhe está a passar. O branco rosto enrubesce, o corpo todo se aquece em febris variações, quente e gélida passa a sentir calafrios. Posta em brasa, despe a pele que a sufoca e engessa, repele a combinação de paúra, incapaz de isolação do calor que lhe infesta a alma. Quando nua a embotoada em ternura enflora em flor de luxúria de púrpuras graduações, encanta-me o seu corpo rosado. Ecoam os apelos cúmplices, contraturas testam os brios, é térmica a transmissão do calor, fenômeno da natureza cientificamente provado. Olhares dissimulados entrecruzam-se, digladiam-se, atraem-se enquanto refutam-se e em doçura harmonizam-se em infinitos luzires. Com brandura acaricio-lhe a derme, olho a olho, palma em pele, o seu olhar agradece-me como se n’alma virgem tocasse, é de amor que ela precisa... São emoções que se encontram, entre o querer e o dúbio, são almas que se enlaçam impolutas. Desce a noite sobre ambos o negro lençol de linho, afaga os anseios e instintos que incandescem os tecidos, encobre e segreda o íntimo. Tudo ferve e exige as mais ternas providências, o resto é subentendido... Ela é néscia, ela é néscia, é néscia, mal sabe o que lhe está a passar...

白い大陸が未来の陽にあたためられ 祝祭の草々でふさふさになっていく 踊る青色の地平が あふれる蕾をいっせいに咲かせる ここは五月という青い未来 ほんの少しだけ待った ほんの少しだけ辛抱した それだけでよかった よろこびは海から上がってきた よろこびは風が運んできた 橋のたもとのきらめく午後 やはりきみも未来からめぐってきた いっしょに心の羽を拡げてみましょう そしてほんの少し そうですね いっしょに あのジャスミンの丘まで駆けてゆきませんか? そしてあの丘に名付けましょう わたしたちの、五月の青と

we walked behind imaginary scents for miles and miles of anxiety under the sun and the rain we were princes and paupers and we slept with implausible brilliant minds creators of everything and nothing but the flesh is weak and the spirit is insecure today they remain gentle tomorrow they will become fractious and so we were doomed to live always on the edge of multiple depths
