These last days I've been working on a cover for a friend's poetry book, Rogério Prado Mendonça. It is entitled "Sobre o Amor e Outras Coisas Amargas", which in English is something like "About Love and Other Bitter Stuff". A series of sad and touching poems, which, I believe, everyone will address to.
Here's a sample of his work:
Suddenly she moves, then all things become silence We hear only the music of their muscles, the battery of her heart the song for her steps While she dances every gesture she makes is a kiss and a slap, each gesture is joy and sadness, each gesture is love and indifference (but mostly love) When she dances the perfection of her body defies the gravity, and the gravity surrenders When she dances her gestures and her smile are cathedrals, cathedrals suspended in movement and beauty While she dances her eyes shed darkness and stars on the audience, and her hair, taken by the movement, shoots galaxies into the void Suddenly the music stops, Suddenly the movement stops The audience suffers for a moment with the end of the movement, then bursts into applause She smiles a powerful smile and then leaves the scene, taking with her all those hearts
I don't know about you, but here, winter came for good. Yes, winter. So I might get used to the cold and rainy days that awaits me. Apart from the headaches, I don't mind this weather. I used to, but what harm a little water can do?
Here are some warming outfits by Alix, the girl behind The Cherry Blossom Girl to inspire you up until the sun makes his appearance. I'm ashamed to say this, but I only found her today! (I'm going to look inside her closet now, see you later!)
