flecha Febril

Embarque

Ontem me peguei sonhando de olhos abertos. Como se as luzes da rua fossem as únicas que proporcionassem iluminação a um recinto fechado e quente, e também como no passado o rádio estagnado em alguma estação que gritava para calar os meus urros. Estes urros que eram sinais da entrega total. Premeditadamente eu deixei o rádio tocando enquanto passeava pelas minha lembranças ao passo que minha mão brindava-me com certeiros toques e observava um filme protagonizado por mim mesmo.
O rádio cortava o silêncio da noite afim de afogar a saída dos uivos animalescos do quarto e a cortina escura vincava de modo que em segundos a luz da rua penetrava naquele quarto. Suava muito e adorava, sentia o fluxo do corpo indo e vindo e eu o controlando assim como minha ereção.
Noites quentes a quais perfurava o gelado bloco da vida com minha certeira flecha febril, e ia costurando e alargando o espaço de minha casa de forma a estocar minha história numa gaveta, mas uma gaveta molhada e extremamente viscosa.
Lembro destas luzes e do soar da rádio em conjunção com os movimentos nada uniformes de nossos corpos naquela cama.

Desarticulado

Embarque

Segunda chance.
As palavras não tem sentido,
As letras são como grãos de areias a serem coladas,
Não articulo nada de produtivo,
Sinto o bombar de meu peito.
E isso não produz palavras.

Envergonhado e aberto.
Horrível essa sensação de improdutividade, nem escrever consigo. Minhas ásperas mãos precisam ser cuidadas. A água sanitária me corrói, por dentro e por fora.
Isto é apenas um podre tentativa de algo. Não pareço eu! Mas sou.
Colo!
Calor!
Odiei este texto!

Desolation Row - Bob Dylan

They're selling postcards of the hanging
They're painting the passports brown
The beauty parlor is filled with sailors
The circus is in town
Here comes the blind commissioner
They've got him in a trance
One hand is tied to the tight-rope walker
The other is in his pants
And the riot squad they're restless
They need somewhere to go
As Lady and I look out tonight
From Desolation Row

Cinderella, she seems so easy
"It takes one to know one," she smiles
And puts her hands in her back pockets
Bette Davis style
And in comes Romeo, he's moaning
"You Belong to Me I Believe"
And someone says," You're in the wrong place, my friend
You better leave"
And the only sound that's left
After the ambulances go
Is Cinderella sweeping up
On Desolation Row

Now the moon is almost hidden
The stars are beginning to hide
The fortunetelling lady
Has even taken all her things inside
All except for Cain and Abel
And the hunchback of Notre Dame
Everybody is making love
Or else expecting rain
And the Good Samaritan, he's dressing
He's getting ready for the show
He's going to the carnival tonight
On Desolation Row

Now Ophelia, she's 'neath the window
For her I feel so afraid
On her twenty-second birthday
She already is an old maid

To her, death is quite romantic
She wears an iron vest
Her profession's her religion
Her sin is her lifelessness
And though her eyes are fixed upon
Noah's great rainbow
She spends her time peeking
Into Desolation Row

Einstein, disguised as Robin Hood
With his memories in a trunk
Passed this way an hour ago
With his friend, a jealous monk
He looked so immaculately frightful
As he bummed a cigarette
Then he went off sniffing drainpipes
And reciting the alphabet
Now you would not think to look at him
But he was famous long ago
For playing the electric violin
On Desolation Row

Dr. Filth, he keeps his world
Inside of a leather cup
But all his sexless patients
They're trying to blow it up
Now his nurse, some local loser
She's in charge of the cyanide hole
And she also keeps the cards that read
"Have Mercy on His Soul"
They all play on penny whistles
You can hear them blow
If you lean your head out far enough
From Desolation Row

Across the street they've nailed the curtains
They're getting ready for the feast
The Phantom of the Opera
A perfect image of a priest
They're spoonfeeding Casanova
To get him to feel more assured
Then they'll kill him with self-confidence
After poisoning him with words

And the Phantom's shouting to skinny girls
"Get Outa Here If You Don't Know
Casanova is just being punished for going
To Desolation Row"

Now at midnight all the agents
And the superhuman crew
Come out and round up everyone
That knows more than they do
Then they bring them to the factory
Where the heart-attack machine
Is strapped across their shoulders
And then the kerosene
Is brought down from the castles
By insurance men who go
Check to see that nobody is escaping
To Desolation Row

Praise be to Nero's Neptune
The Titanic sails at dawn
And everybody's shouting
"Which Side Are You On?"
And Ezra Pound and T. S. Eliot
Fighting in the captain's tower
While calypso singers laugh at them
And fishermen hold flowers
Between the windows of the sea
Where lovely mermaids flow
And nobody has to think too much
About Desolation Row

Yes, I received your letter yesterday
(About the time the door knob broke)
When you asked how I was doing
Was that some kind of joke?
All these people that you mention
Yes, I know them, they're quite lame
I had to rearrange their faces
And give them all another name
Right now I can't read too good
Don't send me no more letters no
Not unless you mail them
From Desolation Row

duas importantes letras

Solitary Man
Johnny Cash

Belinda was mine 'til the time that I found her
Holdin' Jim
And lovin' him
Then Sue came along, loved me strong, that's what I thought
But me and Sue,
That died, too.
Don't know that I will but until I can find me
A girl who'll stay and won't play games behind me
I'll be what I am
A solitary man
A solitary man
I've had it here - being where love's a small word
A part time thing
A paper ring
I know it's been done havin' one girl who loves you
Right or wrong
Weak or strong

Walking after you
Foo Fighters

Tonight I'm tangled in my blanket of clouds
Dreaming aloud
Things just won't do without you, matter of fact
I'm on your back, I'm on your back, I'm on your back

If you'd accept surrender, give up some more
Weren't you adored
I cannot be without you, matter of fact
I'm on your back

If you walk out on me, I'm walking after you
If you walk out on me, I'm walking after you

Another heart is cracked in two, I'm on your back

I cannot be without you, matter of fact
I'm on your back, I'm on your back, I'm on your back

If you walk out on me, I'm walking after you
If you walk out on me, I'm walking after you
If you walk out on me, I'm walking after you
