Bark detail of Guava tree

The trees of my journeys - III
Poem by Pedro Veludo
Translation by Jorge Veludo

Your body, exhaling the scent of earth,
holds back my steps. What could
have made that branch grow
so straight towards the spring, and
that other one describe
so many and so capricious curves?
What could have made your trunk
so tender to the touch and smooth
to sit on? I resume my steps slowly,
but, a little further, stop and look
again; what could have detained me,
impelled me to touch you and
... write these things?

As árvores do meu caminho - III
Poema de Pedro Veludo

Teu corpo, com cheiro de terra,
detém o meu passo. O que terá
feito aquela ramada crescer tão
direita em direção à nascente e
aquela outra descrever tantas e
tão caprichosas curvas? O que
terá feito o teu tronco tão terno
de tocar e macio de sentar?
Retomo devagar o passo, mas,
um pouco adiante, paro e
olho-te de novo; e o que me
terá detido, me feito te tocar e
... escrever estas coisas?
