I was so sorry

(fonte aqui)

I was so sorry that
I would never possess
anything good;
that nothing good
would ever
belong to me.

Not because
I was always
poor in dollars
But because
I was poor
at expressing myself
one-on-one.

I was as yellow as the sun
perhaps
but also as warm and as true
as the sun
somewhere there inside me

but nobody would ever find it.

Charles Bukowski

Da beleza #7

Na origem da beleza está unicamente a ferida, singular, diferente para cada qual, escondida ou visível, que todos os homens guardam dentro de si, preservada, e onde se refugiam ao pretenderem trocar o mundo por uma solidão temporária mas profunda. Fora de miserabilismos. A arte de Giacometti parece querer revelar essa ferida secreta dos seres e das coisas, para que ela os ilumine.
