The signature to a life requires
the search for a method
rejection of posturing
trust in the witnesses
a vial of invisible ink
a sheet of paper held steady
after the end-stroke
above a deciphering flame

O capitalismo conseguiu customizar até o sagrado?

Ah, você compra o sagradinho em qualquer lugar.

how beautiful it was to know that you
were there like an oasis

A silence already filled with noises

There are parts of you
that want the sadness.
Find them out. Ask them why.

You told me I seemed haunted.
It was three a.m. and you could still smell
the storm clouds under my skin.
You can’t quell depression by making
love.
But we tried.
But we tried,
oh, we did.
You’re so quiet you’re almost
                                                 tomorrow.

     I am told the cows
               accept new cows on the spot.
                                                What iteration
               of events will we live through
at sunrise on Highway Ten?
Color of the flowers
has already faded away
while in idle thoughts
my life passes vainly by,
as I watch the long rains fall.

passa o espaço da palavra com sua selva sem margem
