Truman Capote

[JTParreira]

One day the evil came to see him
when held a dry martini
evil exists in the background
of the beauty
one day
when the Times of New York brought to him
fresh blood of the Clutter.

Um dia a maldade veio ao seu encontro
quando segurava um dry martini
a maldade existe no fundo
da beleza
um dia
o Times de Nova Iorque trouxe-lhe
o sangue fresco dos Clutter.

I like it. I like poems about unexpected things, it gives one a unique point of view.

I do not always understand your poems, but they always elicit something emotional from me. Your voice is unmistakable, even in the short lines of your poems. Always I feel you rely on what is not said as much as what is written and perhaps that is from where the magnet pulls at me.

The last two lines of this seem so robust with their literal and expanded intimations.

I believe my favorites are still Babel and one about Modrian's Trees.
