(uma amostra geopoética)

para Jerome Rothenberg

comigo alright  

com um meu amigo Jerome it’s all

aqui comigo tá

bem está um bem-estar só junto de um

novo daqueles meus velhos

que me manda saudações lá desde a Califórnia

tomamos um mate

foi no fim da tarde

foi aqui nesse sul ignoto

um grande match

cá com nós estão os direitos certos e

bem guardados

temos as porteiras como um livro aberto

poesia com baús não se guarda

com vosmecê vivente como está

ao velho Jerome não perguntei e tava tudo

aqui não se pergunta a causo do que

se sabe

mas você meu amigo você tem que tomar um rumo

com quantas palavras se faz um Rothenberg & Jerome

& você de quanto é feito

quantas as suas  

seus quantos são  

os seus direitos reservados

se aprochega se aprochega nisso como queira

se a vosmecê parece assalto

estendo a mão

& aperte os ossos

sê igual a Jerome

to Jerome Rothenberg

with me está bien

with one my friend  Jerome está todo

here with me it’s

right is a just well-being along with a

new friend of those my old

who sends to me greetings from there California

we had a mate¹

a great match

just between us are the rights certain and

poetry isn’t stored by trunks

with ye living soul how it’s

for old Jerome I didn’t ask and it was all

here between us we don’t ask  ‘cause of that

but you my friend you must  find your course

with how many words one does a  Rothenberg & Jerome

and you with how much are you made of

how many are yours

your how many are

your reserved rights

near you

near you in this as you will

if for you it seems holdup

I spread the hand out

and hold tight the bones  

be the same as Jerome

1 Mate (beverage), a popular caffeinated beverage made from yerba maté. Mate or Yerba maté (yerba: Spanish word for herb), is a South American herb used to make the beverage. The word "mate" comes from the Quechua word "mati" or "matty" which means "gourd" - the bowl usually used for tea mate.

Legendary origins

The Guaraní (Guarani, in Portuguese) indigenous people started drinking mate in the region that now includes Paraguay, southern Brazil, south-easthern Bolivia, north-east Argentina, and Uruguay. The Guaraní have a legend that says that the Goddesses of the Moon and the Cloud came to the Earth one day to visit it but they instead found a Yaguareté (a jaguar) that was going to attack them. An old man saved them, and, in compensation, the Goddesses gave the old man a new kind of plant, from which he could prepare a "drink of friendship".

*************************

Mate (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈmate]), also known as  cimarrón or chimarrão (Portuguese), is a traditional South American infused drink, particularly in Uruguay, Argentina, Paraguay, southern states of Brazil, (more drunked in Rio Grande do Sul) and in the Pantanal,south of Chile, the Bolivian Chaco, and to some extent, Syria and Lebanon. It is prepared from steeping dried leaves of yerba mate (llex paraguariensis, known in Portuguese as erva mate) in hot water.

Mate is served with a metal straw from a shared hollow calabash gourd. The straw is called a bombilla in some Latin American countries, a bomba in Portuguese, and a bombija or in general a masassa (type of straw) in Arabic. The straw is traditionally made of silver. Modern commercially available straws are typically made of nickel silver, called Alpaca, stainless steel, or hollow-stemmed cane. The gourd is known as a mate or a guampa, while in Brazil it has the specific name of cuia. Even if the water comes in a very modern thermos, the infusion is traditionally drunk from mates or cuias.

As with other brewed herbs, yerba mate leaves are dried, chopped, and ground into a powdery mixture called yerba. The bombilla acts as both a straw and a sieve. The submerged end is flared, with small holes or slots that allow the brewed liquid in, but block the chunky matter that makes up much of the mixture. A modern bombilla design uses a straight tube with holes, or spring sleeve to act as a sieve.

History

Mate was first consumed by the indigenous Guaraní and also spread by the Tupí people that lived in Southern Brazil. The consumption of mate became widespread with the European colonization. The consumption of yerba mate became widespread in the Spanish colony of Paraguay in the late 16th century both among Spanish settlers and indigenous Guaraní, who consumed it before the Spanish arrival. Mate consumption spread in the 17th century to the River Plate and from there to Chile, Bolivia and Peru. This widespread consumption turned it into Paraguay's main commodity above other wares like tobacco, cotton, and beef. Aboriginal labour was used to harvest wild stands. In the mid 17th century Jesuits managed to domesticate the plant and establish plantations in their Indian reductions in the Paraguayan department of Misiones, sparking severe competition with the Paraguayan harvesters of wild strands. After their expulsion in the 1770s, the Jesuit missions - along with the yerba mate plantations - fell into ruins. The industry continued to be of prime importance for the Paraguayan economy after independence, but development in benefit of the Paraguayan state halted after the War of the Triple Alliance (1864–1870) that devastated the country both economically and demographically.

Brazil then became the largest producer of mate. In Brazilian and Argentine projects in late 19th and early 20th century the plant was domesticated once again, opening the way for plantation systems. When Brazilian entrepreneurs turned their attention into coffee in the 1930s, Argentina, which had long been the prime consumer, took over as the largest producer, resurrecting the economy of Misiones Province, where the Jesuits had once had most of their plantations. For years the status of largest producer shift between Brazil and Argentina.
