DURANTE UMA AUSÊNCIA

 

 

                                                           tudo pode acontecer,

                                                           roubos, estupros,

                                                           assassinatos,

                                                           devaneios, pesadelos,

                                                           camuflagens,

                                                           capturas,

                                                           corrosões,

                                                           festas conclusas e inconclusas,

                                                           multicores, incolores,

                                                           efusivas,

                                                           profusivas, evasivas,

                                                           etapas gloriosas

                                                           outras sem graça.

                                                           Mesmo o tédio

                                                           pode pedir presença

                                                           durante uma ausência.

                                                           Algo se impõe

                                                           e ocorre,

                                                           desconhecido, às vezes,

                                                           conhecido, mas reconhecido, embora

                                                           nem sempre.

                                                           O desconhecido sempre se apresenta.

                                                           A ausência pode doer

                                                           para o ausente, assim como,

                                                           para o que não se ausentou.

                                                           Garças voam,

                                                           sapos coaxam,

                                                           serpentes sibilam.

                                                           Vamos ficar tranquilos,

                                                           silenciosos,

                                                           nunca poderemos

                                                           evitar ausências.
