it’s the ninth prime number and the smallest odd prime that is not a twin prime. the atomic number of vanadium and the number of chromosomes pairs in a human germline cell. beckham’s number on real madrid and used to be michael jordan’s number on chicago bulls.
i turn 23 today. :)
nas costas de uma foto, pendurada no corredor por duas molas e fio, há um poema. li-o ontem de novo, por acaso, quando a corrente de ar virou a foto, e mo revelou outra vez.
hoje deixo-o aqui.
Sobre Flancos e Barcos
Havia ainda outro jardim o da minha vida
exíguo é certo mas o do meu olhar
são talvez dois pássaros que se amam
um sobre o outro ou dois cães de pé
é sempre a mesma inquietação
este delírio branco ou o rumor
da chuva sobre flancos e barcos
o inverno vai chegar
sobre a palha ainda quente a mão
uma doçura de abelha muito jovem
era o sopro distante das manhãs sobre o mar
e eu disse sentindo os seus passos nos pátios do coração
é o silêncio é por fim o silêncio
vai desabar</i>
Eugénio de Andrade
you called me after midnight,
must have been three years since we last spoke.
i slowly tried to bring back,
the image of your face
from the memories so old.
i tried so hard to follow,
but didn’t catch the half of what had gone wrong,
said I don’t know what I can save you from.
i asked you to come over,
and within half an hour,
you were at my door
i had never really known you,
but I realized that the one you were before,
had changed into somebody
for whom i wouldn’t mind to put the kettle on.
still I don’t know what I
can save you from.
