Homage to Pessoa

The Tobacoo Shop (A Tabacaria)
It does not have nothing

to make, with the window

they come ice glasses

and the night's deep.


It will never be anything

more than a window

despite the light inside of itself.


It can´t wish to be nothing.

But it has in itself eyes

for all the dreams of the world.


It has millions of these rooms in the world

with walls underneath of pictures

with moistness in the Landscapes

and the Nature Morte.
(Thomas-John Parr)
