Mexican Notes

Voyeurism sneaks through
dance-eye-notes, smiles, bellies, hats;
these skin-wholly-scenes keep revisiting me
beyond expectations, I
exempt
any help.

~José Coelho, 2015

Provavelmente Hoje

Nada se assemelha ao deserto - 
a circunstância, o detalhe
um,      no outro
a desconcertante arrumação
dos conteúdos, como se alguém 
tivesse a ilusão
da disciplina da areia
do recatado pudor da sede
da sublime delicadeza dos seus
contornos-cristas
em permanente fuga e 
inebriado
clamasse, súpeto, seu
a autoria desta
loucura -

para além da ausência
do mesmo.

~José Coelho, 2015

Clipping Edges

Men weights lengths and strengths;
Irregardless the tree falls
to the weakest side.

~José Coelho, 2015

To The Bone

To The Bone

Mr Masaki's daughter

was keen on dancing, while I

slobbered over

home made plum's jam

Errant Refuse

Errant Refuse

Fields and bodies

prepare, slicing excesses

in them

Bramble fences leave

lovely impressions on the skin

of who does the cutting

Years of geometry -

concentric, exuberant, vertical -

falter upon the metallic

rudeness

of treecide

swordfishes

Without Kyoto, we are all
errant
refuse
egocentric flies, fulminating
others illusions

But the universe is large
and will not give a
thing

Late Afternoon Leak

Late Afternoon Leak

Lemon drop
erasing
her vanilla tissues
shaping forms, acutely -
a promenade
bedewing primary
wants

~ José Coelho, 2015

The Invention of Cities

The Invention of Cities

Sublime, the sun

broke iced conglomerates arresting

life in untold

propositions

Sibling matters dispersed

dissonant notes gathered

wholly by the antipodes

                                waiting

upon

the dialect of ordered bricks
