“WORD” – “PALAVRA”
Translation by Lívia Paulini
i take from the earth
the word
covered by roots.
I fix in water
the wet word
of fertile sap.
I respire the air
from the word
that tells about love.
I sprinkle in fire
burn the inside
of word
which excites
and bleeds and fertilizes
passion which explodes
the whole being.
Bury in the infinite
the passed word
as to forget it.
Carving in the memory
words of love
in the prism of remembrance.
Alice Spíndola
