Ventos mornos de Setembro

Dia 21 de Setembro de 2021, no meio da pandemia, escrevi esse poema. Compartilhei com apenas alguns amigos, em tempos de incerteza, desconforto e sofrimento. Hoje, para celebrar meu aniversário, multiplico o mesmo com o mundo. Ventos Mornos de Setembro Forte o tempo que revigora Abastecendo o peito de sonhos Dando a chance do suspiro E a reviravolta do desconhecido Deixa as incertezas atravessadas Pela vontade de ficar bem, apenas Deixa a plenitude da aceitação Sem precisar podar mais nada

Se põe um Sol

Se põe um Sol Nasce um Outro Desfaz a referência Do que já se foi Deixa um vazio misterioso E Outro oculto, A sombra despedaçada A vista decomposta O espaço se faz na ausência A falta ecoa na boca aberta em silêncio Reluz a escuta Fronteira regenera quando permeiam os raios do Outro

People are people everywhere (Pt. 2)

The first time I traveled outside of my home country was when I had the realization that people are people everywhere. This may sound silly at first, but I grew up being led to believe that that is not true. The people that live in that city, that neighborhood, they…
