Charles Martin

(b. 1812 - d. 1906)
Also Brazil

Badalada, quilombada—
also Brazil

Audible breath
pigment of spirit colors
hearts, original of America,
candid whispers of  yesternow…

Architecture, mud to modern metal sticks,
pillar to post, jaguars and feathers roughed by
wind of Atlantic trade, whistles of
Africa, Europe, bits of Asia.

Machado, mixing, Ursula, cities of
dreams, City of God, Rio/São Paulo
beaches, forests, parrots, tin and brick, 1982 to now…
