MY MOTHER'S MATTRESS


Upstairs, in the heat, beside the handkerchiefs,
my mother's navy-blue horsehair mattress
still, although it's August, smells of damp,
of horses in the hush of damp forests,
of Spassky, still a child, playing chess
all day long, with nobody, in silence -
Spassky, whose seductive ingenuity
my mother has no need to understand.
///
O COLCHÃO DA MINHA MÃE
No andar de cima, com calor, ao lado dos lenços
o colchão de crina de cavalo azul-marinho da minha mãe,
apesar de estarmos em Agosto, ainda cheira ao bafio
dos cavalos no silêncio das florestas húmidas,
de Spassky, ainda criança, a jogar xadrez
sozinho, todo o dia, em silêncio -
Spassky, cuja sedutora ingenuidade
a minha mãe não conseguia compreender.
by Selima HILL, (b. 1945), British surrealist poet, in "LONDON REVIEW OF BOOKS", Volume 38, Number 14, July 2016
