II-I In a Basement With Bertha Mason

In the shadow of a silent sin, a sense of discord grows within.

Long lost in a tale of old, in silence, my thoughts unfold.

Dreams are shaped by hands not mine, destined for him or the divine.

Evening prayers, a hope for peace, yet bring visions that never cease:

A world designed for you and me, yet from it, my soul yearns to be free.

I learned that kindness is my role, dreaming for others, a part of my soul.

Battles within, a constant fight, fade as I face my inner plight.

A common curse we all bear, my dreams shrouded in a common despair.

Life and death, themes I’d rather not ponder, seeking answers that within me wander.

I-XI Jaezes de vida e morte

Intermináveis beijos vossos que minha juventude arruína,

não explico de melhor forma se não franzindo o que tenho de rosto.

Ferve-me o sangue.

Recorda-me das estradas que me lembram não estar em outras.

Ouço bobagens do que tenho sido e fatalidades que me aguardam.

E diante de ti, que rancor algum ouves, és mais feliz do que deveria.

Retornarei então, talvez, com uma carta ou duas, lembrando-nos desta cidade que, nascida de mim, tanto esquece-me das boas coisas. E o silêncio que aos outros significa, nos soa como desculpas de almas distraídas.

 

Odiando-o não me despeço, pois viveria por ti apenas para que eu não viva por mim.

Seus sonhos, faria-os meus dois ou três, esperando, da fé, algo bom.

E diferente do épico lírico baiano que, no português, tanto acreditam propositar seus erros, vivo crucificado,

às vezes por menos, muitas vezes por menos ainda.

Mas não temo a morte que só ameaça, lembro-me de ti, que aqui faz-se de graça.

 

Aos que, lendo-me, desacreditam na justiça, vejam destas ofensas justiça que faço por mim.

Santifico-me por guiar quem mal compreende, os dizendo: besteira essa de querer entender egos contundentes.

Aprendam o caminho de casa ao sair dela, orando para que os livrem do que, de volta, os levem a ela.

E livrem-me destes homens que, de todos os tempos, têm gastado apenas o meu.

II-IV In a Basement With Bertha Mason

All the journals of science, priced beyond my breath,

 

are stored where fortunes tower, perhaps in Hong Kong’s wealth.

 

Opaque the process seems, yet cycles clear abide,

 

to publish and take pride, a never-ending tide.

 

Ask about their travels, how many have there been?

 

Living broad and wide, in randomness unseen.

 

For their victories are listed in public view, you see:

 

work and places, faces—demands to set aside my glee.

 

Yet this is science now, not as it was, or will be hence,

 

I pray recalling minds of genius, cloaked in magic’s dense.

 

They soared beyond the mundane, where fame and mystique blend,

 

in realms where wonder reigns, and mysteries never end.

II-V In a Basement With Bertha Mason

 

I’ve seen too much, weary from the view,

 

but still I crave the life I wish to pursue.

 

Daily the same, convincing myself anew,

 

brighter moments await with you.

 

A brilliant man dying under bitter lights,

 

one day my passion rare as twilight fights.

 

For each day wanes and memory ignites

 

of times unsure, with passions and plights.

 

What’s real escapes me, lost in your trace,

 

triumphant times I can no longer embrace.

 

Am I so fragile? Some days just erase

 

by whims of neglect, in sorrow’s space.

 

The truth—I love you, feelings sometimes shown,

 

from you they come, and then they’re flown.

 

Lost in yeses, sunk in no’s alone,

 

hating myself for feelings overblown.

 

Cursed I feel, by life’s relentless tone.

II-III In a Basement With Bertha Mason

Villain Gray is love, a memory steeped in pain,

a ghost from my past, again and again.

On that fateful day, I was deeply hurt,

troubled by issues, feelings overt.

Yet somehow it happens, things go astray,

they vanish like shadows, without delay.

Now, writing of love, a tender theme,

I find myself lost, in a recurring dream.

In moments of joy, still, a shadow takes hold,

a course through my soul, both brash and bold.

Safety eludes me, though I strive to find peace,

in the house of my mind, where struggles cease.

God grants me courage, through the dark to pave,

a path of bravery, my heart to save.

II-II In a Basement With Bertha Mason

Our minds are open books to read, the Lord twists time with divine heed.

My pen has inked no joyful tune, merely shades of sorrow, under a waning moon.

Yet prayers ascend for our shared fate, while my own hours dissipate in the wait.

Gratitude swells for the breath, the fight, for moments shared in your sacred light.

Ghosts may haunt, searing thoughts within, scars may mark the battles we’re yet to win.

But life, it stretches beyond my silent pleas, vaster than visions the praying eye sees.

Each day it bears us on a tide so vast, in this grand design, I find peace at last.
