A FLY INSIDE A FLY A THOUGHT INSIDE A THOUGHT AND MARIO SANTIAGO INSIDE MARIO SANTIAGO 
A person -a stranger I should say- that caress you 
A stranger is thrown across the bed 
A woman -I ought to say a stranger- who caresses you 
A woman's voice says she loves 
All the stores were closed today 
As persianas deixam passar, apenas, dois raios de lua 
At 4 a.m. old photographs of Lisa 
Beautiful unremembered moments 
Blood coagulated on horizontal glass. 
Docks Every evil spirit brightens up 
DON'T WRITE POEMS BUT SENTENCES 
Dorme abismo meu, os reflexos dirão 
Esperas que desapareça a angústia 
FRITZ LEIBER REREADS SOME OF HIS STORIES 
Go to hell, Roberto, and remember you'll never 
Guiraut Sitting on the tavern porch 
I asked if she was still there 
I deserved every bit of it, boss, don't turn on the light. 
I may have been drunk, but I saw 
In a thounsand years nothing will be left 
It's hardly surprising that the author's room is full of allusive posters 
Maybe I don't love anyone in particular, she said 
Middle Ages of long hair untouched by the wind 
My gift to you will be an abyss, she said 
Ninguém te manda cartas agora Debaixo do farol 
Now you walk alone along the piers 
OUTRO AMANHECER NO CAMPING ESTRELA DO MAR 
Sleep my abyss, reflexes may tell me 
Strange gratuitous occupation To go losing your hair 
Switchblade to the neck and the 
THE DAY WILL COME WHEN THEY'LL CALL YOU FROM THE STREET 
The nightmare begins over there, right there 
The Persian blinds let in, scarcely, two beams of moonlight 
The protagonist is left with adventure 
The real situation: I was alone in my house 
The stranger is sprawled on the bed 
Todo o comércio estava fechado hoje 
Truth is I'm the one who's most afraid 
Two in the morning and a blank screen 
Uma voz de mulher disse que ama 
What could Mario be doing in Mexico? 
When I think of people whose lives go to shit each day 
Write of widows, the abandoned ones 
Write red sex cross-cut by gray palm trees 
You wish the angst would go away
