Editor's Note:
Cemitério de Pianos é o quarto romance de José Luís Peixoto. Os narradores, pai e filho, desvendam a história da família, que vive em Lisboa, e falam da a morte como destino irremediável, ciclo ininterrupto, renovação e elo entre gerações.Excerto"na terra do quintal. Empilhava tábuas que eram restos de madeira que o meu pai trazia da oficina e fazia casinhas. A cadela passava devagar, com os olhos castanhos perdidos no chão. Debaixo de uma laranjeira, meio enterrado, estava um pedaço comprido de arame enferrujado. Acredito que consigo lembrar-me do momento em que o meu corpo de quatro anos se levantou para, com as duas mãos, puxar o arame da terra. Vejo esse instante com a mesma falta de nitidez com que, agora, olho para o lado e distingo copas de árvores, misturas de folhas, a sucederem-se à minha passagem. Como uma imagem de cores líquidas a dissolverem-se umas sobre as outras. Naquele dia, voltei a sentar-me junto das tábuas empilhadas, que eram as casas que tinha construído. Segurava o arame e comecei a encontrar-lhe formas desajeitadas. Na minhas mãos, havia riscos de terra e ferrugem. Ouvi os movimentos da porta da rua a abrir-se. Era o meu irmão a sorrir. Tinha as roupas sujas de serradura porque era aprendiz do nosso pai e estava a voltar do trabalho. Disse-me qualquer cumprimento antes de reparar que eu tinha o arame na mão. Os canteiros que a minha mãe tratava com um sacho floriam atrás dele. O Simão tinha dez anos e era um rapaz. Às vezes, punha as mãos nos bolsos e ria-se. Quando me lembro dele nos dias que passaram antes daquele dia, a primeira imagem que me surge é ele de mãos nos bolsos, a rir-se. Naquela tarde, trazia a camisa fora das calças. Quando me viu com o arame na mão, deu três passos rápidos na minha direcção. A partir daqui, foi tudo rápido, mas agora, ao recordar-me, é tudo muito lento. As mãos do Simão eram maiores do que as minhas e tentavam tirar-me o arame. Não sei quais foram as palavras que escolheu para me dizer que não devia brincar com arames porque, antes de poder entendê-las, talvez por reflexo, talvez porque naquele momento me pareceu que devia ser assim, talvez porque achava que eu também sabia aquilo que devia fazer, talvez por nenhum motivo, por nenhum motivo, não larguei logo o arame. Continuei a segurá-lo com as duas mãos. Sentia a força do meu irmão no arame ferrugento que apertava com toda a força na palma das minhas mãos. E foi muito rápido, sei que foi um momento, mas agora parece-me que foi uma hora parada. Todos os movimentos divididos. Tudo muito devagar. A ponta do arame avançou na direcção da cara do meu irmão. Como se existisse uma linha recta a mostrar-lhe o caminho. A ponta enferrujada do arame avançou. O seu rosto. Num só movimento, a ponta do arame tocou-lhe na parte branca e húmida do olho direito, premiu-a ligeiramente e afundou-se definitiva num rasgão. O meu irmão largou o arame, afastou a cara e levou as duas mãos ao olho direito. Esse foi um momento de silêncio absoluto. Eu tinha quatro anos e sabia que tinha acontecido algo terrível. O meu irmão estava agarrado à cara e fazia sons de dor como eu nunca tinha ouvido. Não eram gritos. Eram sons de uma dor que o destruía devagar. Eu tinha quatro anos e segurava ainda o arame. Esse foi o momento em que a nossa mãe nos viu através do vidro da janela da cozinha. Esse momento terminou quando a nossa mãe saiu a correr pela porta, a o que é que aconteceu?, o que é que aconteceu? Eu não conseguia dizer nada. O meu irmão segurava a cara e, atrás das suas mãos, nasciam fios de sangue que lhe escorriam pelo braço e pela face e pelo pescoço. Eram fios de sangue muito vivo que lhe desciam pelos pulsos, lhe atravessavam a pele lisa e clara do interior dos braços e lhe pingavam pelo bico do cotovelo. A nossa mãe, que não imaginava, aproximou-se dele, e tem calma, tem calma. Sem imaginar, a tentar uma voz serena de mãe, deixa lá ver o que é que aconteceu. O Simão, ainda a querer acreditar que podia haver uma possibilidade de não ter acontecido o que aconteceu, afastou as mãos lentamente. No seu rosto ensanguentado, eu e a minha mãe vimos a maneira como o lado direito da sua cara era um buraco de sangue onde estava a pele branca e vazia do olho, com o desenho circular e espalmado da íris, e que, entre o sangue, lhe escorria sobre o rosto a matéria espessa e viscosa, como a clara de um ovo, que estava antes no interior do olho. No lado esquerdo da cara do Simão, o outro olho, magoado e inocente, esperava a reacção da minha mãe. Eu tinha quatro anos e segurava ainda o arame. Larguei-o quando a minha mãe não conseguiu parar o grito amargurado que a rasgou. O meu irmão voltou a tapar o rosto. E as minhas irmãs entraram no quintal a correr pela porta da cozinha. E entraram vizinhos a correr pela porta da rua. A minha mãe gritava com toda a força da sua garganta. Alguém foi chamar o meu pai à oficina. Alguém me agarrou pela cintura, me levantou da terra do quintal e me l...
