a dois passos

If I open my mouth of joy
with the tongue I'll touch the pain
dried by the sun that asphyxiates me
two steps away from the heat

I don't know if I'm close
In the middle of multitudes
I don't know if I can speak and smile
To the beating of the hearts

On the feet the tiredness of kilometres
still two steps away from the heat
I know I shall have to let go from my chest
and from my mouth
extricate the pain


Return
