THE SOAVE PANTHER – Poetry by Marly de Oliveira

When you enter a different country from yours, you get an opportunity: to expand your cultural horizons, even that of its language. Welcome to the Brazilian poetry of Marly de Oliveira. The Meeting way: a perfectly proportioned man, was created by Leonardo da Vinci, correlating the symmetry of human anatomy to the symmetry of the universe. That geometrical way of the mind, could live with the simplicity of the sides of a charming square, where joy, surprise, expectations and approval are four emotions in motion. What you see, hear, eat and feel, it’s all inside Meeting Benches way: the Vitruvian approach to life.

A PANTERA SOAVE

Como qualquer animal, olha as grades flutuantes. Eis que as grades são fixas: ela, sim, é andante.

Sob a pele, contida (em silêncio e lisura), a força do seu mal, e a doçura, a doçura, que escorre pelas pernas e as pernas habitua a esse modo de andar, de ser sua, no perfeito equilíbrio de sua vida aberta: uma e atenta a si mesma, uavíssima pantera.

THE SOAVE PANTHER

Like any animal, look at the floating bars. Here the bars are still: she, yes, it is ambulatory. Under the skin, it held (in silence and smoothness), the strength of his illness, and the sweetness, the sweetness, going down to the legs and feet get used to that way of going, and to be his, her, in perfect balance her life open: attentive to herself sweetest panther.

LA SOAVE PANTERA

Come qualsiasi animale, guarda le sbarre fluttuanti. Ecco che le sbarre son ferme: lei, sì, è deambulante. Sotto la pelle, trattenuta (in silenzio e morbidezza), la forza del suo male, e la dolcezza, la dolcezza, che scende nelle zampe e le zampe abitua a quel modo di andare, e di essere suo, suo, nel perfetto equilibrio della sua vita aperta: attenta a se stessa soavissima pantera.
