A TESOURA DE DERRIDA

com a tesoura corta língua lâmina você
reclama um pouco sente rasgar
a pele seleciona a defesa oferece
mais carne fresca
         faz o que quer de mim
lá fora nenhuma casa nome de rua sequer
está tudo acabado
eles sabem
o segredo do mundo nos seus olhos
brancos dois pequenos planetas
explodindo a ponta
da tesoura escorrendo pelo metal
até que você diz    eu aguento

DERRIDA’S SCISSOR

with the tongue-cutting scissor blade you
complain a little feeling the tear
the skin selects the defence you offer
more fresh meat
         do whatever you want to me
outside no house not even a street name
it’s all over
they know
the secret of the world in your white
eyes two tiny planets
exploding the scissor’s
tip dripping onto the metal
until you say     I can bear it
