Sway Soul, Sway Poem by Ana Ónimo

My soul sways peacefully
Scattered through the universe
I spill drops, uneasy
My eyes cannot retire
But my soul, swings, calmly
I can’t find a shelter
After the disappointment and the shame
After a funeral
They’ll shut up
And I will murder my sorrow
So then I can finally go
And then smash in the deserted sky
And say:
My soul sways, calmly, my soul swings
Stoicism, don’t show your wrath
Don’t show your melancholy
But my soul swings, sways, so calm
After saying goodbye one day
Before twilight breaks
And to smash in the deserted sky
Swinging in a half moon, somewhere
Before my eyes can’t hold on anymore
And my soul is scattered through the universe
In the calm (very calm) sky
Oh my soul, oh my eyes!
