A Woman of Thirty Years - Adilia Lopes

Original in Portuguese:

LA FEMME DE TRENTE ANS
Amarás
o meu nariz
brilhante
as minhas estrias
os meus pontos pretos
os meus textos
os meus achaques
e as minhas manias
e as minhas gatas
de solteirona
ou não me amarás

ADILIA LOPES

A Woman of Thirty Years

You will love
my shiny
nose
my stretch-marks
my black-heads
the words I write
my eccentricities
and my cats as well
of my being a single woman
or you will not love me
