Ícaro
Ana Martins Marques
Quando Ícaro
caiu
no mar
a sereia que
primeiro
o encontrou
amou nele
o pássaro
ele amou nela
o peixe
Os restos de suas asas
desfeitas
foram dar na praia
entre embalagens
de plástico preservativos
garrafas vazias latas
de cerveja
Icarus
Translated by Heath Wing
When Icarus
fell
into the sea
the mermaid who
first
found him
loved in him
the bird
in her he loved
the fish
The remains of his unraveled
wings
washed ashore
among the plastic
packages condoms
empty bottles and cans
of beer
