Mar do Norte

nas pedras de cores brillantes de auga
nas pozas que a baixamar enchera
nas focas durmindo entre as rochas
o mar estaba por todas partes
sobre todo no aire e dentro de nós 

na soidade asistiamos ao espectáculo 
da continua construcción da terra
os derrubes do cantil descubrían
fósiles de animais mariños
e a magnitude verdadeira do ser humano

Nord Sea

in the brightly colored stones of water
in the pools that the low tide had filled
in the seals sleeping among the rocks
the sea was everywhere
especially in the air and within us

in solitude we attended the show
of the continuous construction of the earth
the collapses of the cliff exposed 
fossils of marine animals
and the true magnitude of the human being
