sc(r)am artist

an artist came by

with a work of lies,

and asked if I

would buy it

then reasoned why

I might comply,

since only I

could eye it

he finally sighed

as I replied,

if true then I

would try it

on somebody else,

on anybody else,

since nobody else

could deny it

Antonio Cicero: The Blind Poet

The Blind Poet



The poet has gone blind,
abandoned by his mind,
abandoned by his being,
being nothing, he is becoming.

Well before the sunrise,
in his verses he can see,
not whatever he may be,
but all he could ever realize.

– Antonio Cicero / gringocarioca



O poeta cego


Eis o poeta cego.
Abandonou-o seu ego.
Abandonou-o seu ser.
Por nada ser ele verseja.

Bem antes do amanhecer
em seus versos talvez se veja
diverso de tudo o que seja
tudo que almeja ser.

– Antonio Cicero
