O DO AMOR

Espaço sem portas, sem estradas, o do amor.
O primeiro desejo dos amantes
e serem velhos amantes.
E começarem assim
o amor pelo fim.

Love is

Space with no doors, no roads

– that’s what love looks like

The first wish of lovers

is to be old lovers.

And thus begin love

at the end.

Translated from the Portuguese by Margaret Jull Costa.
