" PENITÊNCIA "

PENANCE

        Penance is silent on the cold prison ...

        Penance tape rays to naked body

        Penance robe falls to the side of your shadow

        Penance quarda to guatro faces to secure grid

        Penance absolve the sweat of your despair

        Penance feeds of your eternal home.                                                

WELL

A well bored not kill your thirst
But why will sweat ...
What remained on the walls.

                        

        IMAGINATION

   MENDES, ISRAEL XAVIER.

Survive on my imagination.

Is to be immune on ...

Breaches of the 'other'.

                                                          RIO

It is not the river that passes ...
Marking the swamp ...
The river estuary ...
What rhymes and down, ...
I no longer beats between ...
... The rocks of life.

  MENDES, ISRAEL XAVIER.
