Paraiso não tem nome

And if sometimes before all I wished for was to keep

to hold and never forget

slowly

as the days passed by,

all I wished for

as much as this feeling was soaked into sad tears which never left my eyes

was to forget

to let everything go away

to let it all follow whatever star’s light into oblivion

to let every memory, every word, every kiss

disappear into dust

there was no difference at all

if in the dust of my own going away steps

the dust your bike leaves behind itself on the road

nor the dust from any other galaxy far away

dust from body, movement or gear

dust as gold

diminishing it all

into billions of tiny subatomic pieces

My heart was still in one

but everything else felt apart

and nothing from it all wished I to retain

nor even words

though I needed them

I need these

no, not to keep

but rather to enable my thoughts to return to dust and forgivenes

forgetfulness…
