Poema "estilhaços", de marcos freitas na United We Stand: A Multilingual International Anthology of Poetry and Art from the Revolutionary Poets Brigade
estilhaços
nuvens de poeira no que sobrou de um prédio
habitado por mães e crianças
nuvens e chamas no que soçobrou de uma vida
cotidiana de casa, escola,
comida e brincadeiras
gritos, choros, dores sem cicatrizes, pontos e anestesia
gritos, choros, dores
a lágrima estancada no rosto da menina palestina
diante do caos de destruição
e desesperanças
fósforo branco
fragments
clouds of dust in what remains of a building
inhabited by mothers and children
clouds and flames in what has been lost to an everyday life
of home, school,
food, and play
screams, cries, pain without scars, stitches, or anesthesia
acreams, cries, pain
the tear held back on the face of the Palestinian girl
amidst the chaos of destruction
and hopelessness
white phosphorus
