Than the Serpents in my arms

“Dorme, dorme meu menino
dorme no mar dos sargaços
que mais vale o mar a pino
que as serpentes nos meus braços”

Mário Cesarinny


“And when all life as you know it
fails
And all the ghostlike lips taste just the same

What better comfort can you find
than the serpents in my arms” (…)
