Miracle Man

Now we will have the sunflowers
of year end.
And the inhuman warmth,
everything will expand,
grow with the waters.
Maybe, love in heart.
And a miraculous
sculptor
predicts the pain
of other people
and says that the life
is made of illusions.
 
And a miraculous
sculptor
predicts the pain
of other people,
and says that the life
is made of illusions.
 
The one who made him dream
ran away with someone else.
Right in the day which they would
marry for love.
He's gone crazy,
today his sorrow
sparkles on the clothesline1
 
He spent all his 7 lives,
but was never happy.
All pain passed by his life,
and he eventually was left alone.
 
One more saint to be carved is what is left,
to prevent the rancor from spreading its weeds.
 
  • 1. Sparkles on the clothesline: imagine a clothesline when it is empty with no clothes, then it starts to rain, water droplets fall and some of them get stuck in the clothesline. If sun comes up, the sunbeams will reflect on the water droplets and then they start to spark. Did you get the imagery? So, those water droplets are supposed to be the sorrow of his.

As far as I'm aware there are no words in English to directly translate 'santeiro'
Perhaps it could be translated with 'sculptor', if he makes sculptures of saints....
And I like the imagery of 'sparkles on a clothesline', it sounds very quaint :)

Thank you for your nice suggestion, awesome!

As for the speakles on a clothesline imagery, I didn't even know this expression, but it sounds cool to me :)
