ODE TO THE THIRD AGE SKELETON


at night
in bed
pains are more intense
it's as if the bones withered and came out of the joints---
as my wife says
they become porous and brittle---
move just a bit
the more laps you do in bed
the worse
if you can't stand the massacre sit with your legs out
take a deep breath
eyes wide open
get up slowly and in stages
to be a perfect physical exercise
carefully walk to the bathroom
piss
look at you in the mirror for a moment and see the time
do the statistics of how many times you get up
then return to the room
exhale voluptuously
close your eyes as you lie down and moan
as if it was a night's masturbation
fortunately during the day pains are less
under movement and a little luck they barely feel
still you can't get rid of a sudden twist in a knee
or an open foot without any stumbling---
my wife asked me what I feel with an open foot
I told her it is like a knife stuck in the instep
between tendons and ingrown toenails
I didn't understand her smile---
I only know that during the day feet are the bigger problem
take your shoes off whenever you can
or put them into slippers or flip flops
preferably warm
the foot will thank you
and so will we

ODE AO ESQUELETO DA TERCEITA IDADE
à noite
na cama
as dores são mais intensas
é como se os ossos mirrassem e desarticulassem---
como diz minha mulher
ficam porosos e quebradiços---
mexe-te pouco
quantas mais voltas deres na cama
pior
se não aguentas o massacre senta-te com as pernas de fora
inspira profundamente
olhos bem abertos
levanta-te lentamente e por fases
para ser um perfeito exercício físico
cuidadosamente caminha para a casa de banho
mija
olha-te no espelho por instantes e vê as horas
faz a estatística de quantas vezes te levantas
depois regressa ao quarto
expira voluptuosamente
fecha os olhos enquanto te deitas e geme
como se fosse a masturbação da noite
felizmente de dia as dores são menores
com o movimento e um pouco de sorte nem se sentem
mesmo assim não te livras duma repentina guinada no joelho
ou dum pé aberto sem qalquer tropeço---
minha mulher perguntou-me o que é que sinto com o pé aberto
disse-lhe que é como uma faca espetada no peito do pé
por entre tendões e unhas encravadas
riu-se não sei por quê---
só sei que de dia o maior problema são os pés
descalça-os sempre que puderes
ou enfia-os nos chinelos ou pantufas
de preferência quentinhas
os pés agradecem
e nós também
