Refresco

Gosto de pensar,
às vezes,
no Iraque, na cólera, na Aids...
afinal (droga!)
Nada disso é o que tira a minha paz.

mãos dadas

ombro amigo,
choro contido.
quando esquecer neruda,
aperte minha mão
só nos restará alice
e nem reza brava
nos tirará
do caminho mais curto.

- pra ana e carol. hoje, mais pra uma do que outra.

- por alice ruiz, o haikai:

voltando com amigos
o mesmo caminho
é mais curto

... sussuros

sofro dessa síndrome do tanto querer.
te quero tanto, que de tanto querer,
sufoco
e acabo sufocando você,
a quem tanto quero.
sufocam também, cansadas,
todas as palavras nossas
escritas por amor, pra durar
por todo sempre...

respiro, abro as mãos,
solto dentes pelo ar,
suspiro.

apenas por tanto querer
você,
redundante,
sufoco todo o medo de nós.

Spirit on the water

Spirit on the water
Darkness on the face of the deep
I keep thinking about you baby
I can't hardly sleep
I'm traveling by land
Traveling through the dawn of day
You're always on my mind
I can't stay awayI'd forgotten about you
Then you turned up again
I always knew
We were meant to be more than friends
When you're near
It's just as plain as it can be
I'm wild about you, gal
You ought to be a fool about me
Can't explain
The sources of this hidden pain
You burned your way into my heart
You got the key to my brain
I've been trampling through mud
Praying to the powers above
I'm sweating blood
You got a face that begs for love
Life without you
Doesn't mean a thing to me
If I can't have you
I'll throw my love into the deep blue sea
Sometimes I wonder
Why you can't treat me right
You do good all day
And then you do wrong all night
When you're with me
I'm a thousand times happier than I could ever say
What does it matter
What price I pay
They brag about your sugar
Brag about it all over town
Put some sugar in my bowl
I feel like laying down
I'm as pale as a ghost
Holding a blossom on a stem
You ever seen a ghost? No
But you have heard of them
I see you there
I'm blinded by the colors I see
I take good care
Of what belongs to me
I hear your name
Ringing up and down the line
I'm saying it plain
These ties are strong enough to bind
Now your sweet voice
Calls out from some old familiar shrine
I got no choice
Can't believe these things would ever fade from your mind
I could live forever
With you perfectly
You don't ever
Have to make a fuss over me
From East to West
Ever since the world beganI only mean it for the best
I want to be with you any way
I canI been in a brawl
Now I'm feeling the wall
I'm going away baby
I won't be back 'til fall
High on the hill
You can carry all my thoughts with you
You've numbed my will
This love could tear me in two
I wanna be with you in paradise
And it seems so unfair
I can't go to paradise no more
I killed a man back there
You think I'm over the hill
You think I'm past my prime
Let me see what you got
We can have a whoppin' good time

Então, berra!

Grita, vagabunda
Se isso dói em você
Tire essas mordaças
Que o silêncio te apontou
E dança para o mundo,
O rito da nojeira e o vômito
Das coisas pagãs
que não te amam mais
