Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro
Observing the grave sounds of the ocean,
following with closed eyes
The sandy trail of its breaths:
sometimes slow,
sometimes exhausted,
Sometimes intoxicated by consuming storms,
…
I understand that my dying (if it ever happens),
Is not a flayed barge in the distance,
A limp gull I glimpse approaching,
Nor that decayed log,
stroked,
still,
By lunar bursts of feminine eagerness.
…
My dying lies barren
Onto this rock.
…
Like a seashell,
the only memory of me
Will be a fake undertow echo,
Trapped in the burnished coils
of a shell
(inexplicably)
repudiated.
