MACHINE-MAN MAQUINOMEM Helena Kolody Translation by Rosaliene Bacchus |
| Satellites in space Cars & planes increase our pace. Beliefs set in stone. HAIKU POEM ROSALIENE BACCHUS |
Man got married to the machine
and created a strange hybrid:
in the chest a chronometer
in the skull a generator.
Red corpuscles of its blood
are rounded algorithms.
Statistical cacti grow
in their abstract gardens.
Precision planning,
life of machine-man.
The gears vibrate with
exertion of its realizations.
In its obscure core
is a strange prisoner,
whose screams agitate
the metallic structure;
blazing are the reflections
of an imponderable light
disturbing the coldness
of the armored machine-man.
| BRAZILIAN POET (1912-2004) |
| PRISONERS |
Poetry is “the transfiguration of the reality in beauty
through the magic of words.” And the poet is “a sensitive
soul, capturing his own feelings as well as events in the
world that hurt one’s sensibility.”
HELEN KOLODY during an interview quoted in her biography on
artculturalbrasil.blogspot.com. Translation by Rosaliene Bacchus.

Maquinomem
Helena Kolody
O homem esposou a máquina
e gerou um híbrido estranho:
um cronômetro no peito
e um dínamo no crânio.
As hemácias de seu sangue
são redondos algarismos.
Crescem cactos estatísticos
em seus abstratos jardins.
Exato planejamento,
a vida do maquinomem.
Trepidam as engrenagens
no esforço das realizações.
Em seu íntimo ignorado,
há uma estranha prisioneira,
cujos gritos estremecem
a metálica estrutura;
há reflexos flamejantes
de uma luz imponderável
que perturbam a frieza
do blindado maquinomem.
