THE HAND AND THE WRITING
I let my hand
run through my dream
sudden wakeups
thirsty
in the invention of the word
the other side of pain
and the truth of the page
A MÃO E A ESCRITA
Deixo a mão
correr pelo meu sonho
num sobressalto
sedento
no invento da palavra
pelo avesso da pena
e a lisura da página
