no hope
I stop in front of a cabinet portfolio
on the Avenue of Our Lady of Copacabana, Sunday,
while the twilight is unleashed on the neighborhood.
no hope
I wait.
In the crowd that comes and goes
and in and out of bars and cinemas
does your face and disappears
in a flash
and heart fire.
See you in a restaurant,
in the waiting line, blue
're running a car, on foot
cross the street
mirage
finally breaks through the evening on buildings
and vanishes into the clouds.
The city is great
has four million people and you are one.
Somewhere you at this time, still or walking,
perhaps in the next block on the beach may
perhaps converse in a distant bar
or on the balcony of that building across
maybe you're coming to meet me, without you knowing,
mixed with the people I see along the avenue.
But what hope! I have
one chance in four million.
Ah, if only you were a thousand
disseminated through the city.
The night trade stands
in the constellations of the avenue.
no hope
I press
and my heart is saying your name
drowned by the roar of the engines
led by smoke from burning gasoline.
(On the street).
Gullar.
