he kept thinking of his wife, Betsy, and he wanted to howl. He understood only this: that he deserved all of it. He deserved the fact that right now he wore a pad in his underwear because of prostate surgery, he deserved it; he deserved his daughter not wanting to speak to him because for years he had not wanted to speak to her - she was gay; she was a gay woman, and this still made a small wave of uneasiness move through him. Betsy, though, did not deserve to be dead. He deserved to be dead, but Betsy did not deserve that status [...] 

When his wife was dying, she was the one who was furious. She said, "I hate you." And he said, " I don't blame you." She said, "Oh, stop it." But he had meant it - how could he blame her? He could not blame her. And the last thing she said to him was: "I hate you because I'm going to die and you're going to live."

As he glanced up a seagull, he thought, But I'm not living, Betsy. What a terrible joke it has been.

"Nothing," he answered agreeably. "Nothing to say to that. But I just wanted you to know I know."

essa paixão árida que não canta 

mas vibra seca no papel incerta 

 

Quem detém os olhos? Quem vê o curso

do vento nas palavras?

E as flechas que por vezes se desfazem?

 [...]

 

Tudo o que o poema faz desfaz

 

Mas sustenta a ferida 

nas margens mais distantes 

da distância 

na insensata esperança

no abismo 

 

Tu beijas aqui a dança e o desastre

(...) não devemos dar por sanado o que

Não tem remédio. E devemos dar por evidente

O que não se sabe?
