Love in the Asylum (Dylan
Thomas)
A stranger has come
To share my room in the house not right in the head,
A girl mad as birds
Bolting the night of the door with her arm her plume.
Strait in the mazed bed
She deludes the heaven-proof house with entering clouds
To share my room in the house not right in the head,
A girl mad as birds
Bolting the night of the door with her arm her plume.
Strait in the mazed bed
She deludes the heaven-proof house with entering clouds
Yet she deludes with walking the nightmarish room,
At large as the dead,
Or rides the imagined oceans of the male wards.
She has come possessed
Who admits the delusive light through the bouncing wall,
Possessed by the skies
She sleeps in the narrow trough yet she walks the dust
Yet raves at her will
On the madhouse boards worn thin by my walking tears.
And taken by light in her arms at long and dear last
I may without fail
Suffer the first vision that set fire to the stars.
At large as the dead,
Or rides the imagined oceans of the male wards.
She has come possessed
Who admits the delusive light through the bouncing wall,
Possessed by the skies
She sleeps in the narrow trough yet she walks the dust
Yet raves at her will
On the madhouse boards worn thin by my walking tears.
And taken by light in her arms at long and dear last
I may without fail
Suffer the first vision that set fire to the stars.

Amor
no Manicômio (Dylan Thomas)
Uma
estranha chegou
Para compartilhar meu
quarto meio ruim da cabeça,
Louca como os pássaros
Trancando com seu braço
sua pluma as portas da noite.
Na cama labiríntica presa
Ela engana a malograda
casa com nuvens que invadem
Ainda assim engana
entrando no quarto horripilante,
Feito a morte, imensa,
Ou cavalga ondas
imaginárias na ala dos rapazes.
Ela
entrou possessa,
Ela que admite a luz
enganosa na parede que treme,
Possessa pelos céus
Dorme estreita com os porcos
mas caminha na poeira
Mesmo assim delira
Nas
tábuas da casa de loucos exausta da minha choradeira.
E tomado pela luz dos seus
braços eu posso finalmente,
No instante definitivo,
Sofrer a primeira visão
que lança fogo às estrelas.
