Half Bird Poem by Murilo Mendes

Half Bird



The woman from the world´s end
Gives food to the rose trees,
Gives water to the statues,
Gives dreams to the poets.


The woman from the world´s end
Calls the light with a whistle,
Turns the virgin into stone,
Cures the tempest,
Changes the course of dreams,
Writes letters to the rivers,
Pulls me from eternal sleep
To her singing arms.
