cheerful, contagious, lightly night e20jun2013old by Edneser Rednav
How not to go to the street
the ancient city of São João Del Rei
exhaled a cutting heat
in June 2014
the protesters shouted at megaphones
posters called for
boxes protested
flashes dazzled
the decrepit mansions trembled with pleasure
reverberated walls
vibrating wingows
boards creaked
at the churches
the bells ring
the stained glass windows sparkled
the procedure continued on the right path
in certain points
there was no empty space.
everything so intense
but, however, nevertheless, meanwhile
on the other side of the avenue...
the factories worked with extended shifts,
the stores closed their doors
the machines ground meat
at hidden cameras
camouflaged barracks
open faculties
the carts followed an uncertain path
the horses were whipped
the dogs barked hungry
the taxi drivers roared
in the buses
in the taxis
in the cars
the passengers lamented the delay in returning home
home sour home

our buses
us cars
we taxi
The passengers regret the delay and do not return to the future.

Como não ir para a rua
A antiga São João Del Rei
exalava um calor cortante
em junho de 2014
manifestantes bradavam
megafones clamavam
cartazes convocavam
caixas protestavam
flashes ofuscavam

os decrépitos casarões fremiam com o prazer
paredes reverberavam
janelas vibravam
tábuas rangiam
nas igrejas
os sinos repicavam
os vitrais cintilavam
um procissão seguia rumo certo
em certos pontos
não havia sequer
um espaço vazio.
tudo tão intenso
mas, contudo, todavia, entretanto
no outro lado da avenida...
as fábricas funcionavam com turnos estendidos
as máquinas moíam carnes
as lojas fechavam portas
as câmaras ocultas
as faculdades caladas
as casernas camufladas
as carroças seguiam rumo incerto
os cães ladravam famintos
os cavalos eram açoitados
os taxistas rugiam
nos ônibus
nos carros
nos taxis
os passageiros lamentavam o atraso no retorno ao lar
