TOMORROWS

By Pedro Du Bois (Balneário Camboriú, SC)

(Marina Du Bois, English version)

Called I do not present myself
absent I make myself distant
in repeated tomorrow

unaware the prisioner heads
to inaudible murmur:

I choose the pill I lie with
and dream silences
unreflected
from fouls
tomorrows
from the songs: overshadowed
dormant clearings

in numbness.
