Em um video recente, Vasco Graça Moura, um editor de consultoria do Interlitq, diz que não teve qualquer intenção de “afrontar” o Governo ao não adotar o Acordo Ortográfico e acrescenta que, ao levar a questão ao Parlamento, o PS revelou preocupar-se com “questiúnculas menores” por não ter margem para fazer oposição.

Nightmares

Those with the greatest awareness have the greatest nightmares – Gandhi

black sea skittering white horses,

something intense and frightening

comes upon the sleeping child:

an ‘Eat It All’ who gobbles the moon,

stars, clouds, home, body of the boy;

a James Whale movie mannequin shadowing

the child through dead museum,

357 Magnum for a claw; or Karkinos

snipping at feet from a swamp;              

such visitations              stretch

five, six, seven, eight sleep years

the trap of the incubus snaring

the parents too, jamais vu, so

each darkness as if for the first time

the somnolent mother rises from

a watery cave upon a hippocampus

half-stallion   half-porpoise   swims

the corridor wavy through moonlight

to greet the child’s face turbulent

with tears fluid as memories

with tears fierce as scars
