Nightfall rumble



imprecation to the sun solidity

in the water's penury



remains of useless prayer

in the soul's disquiet



dodecaphonic symphony

at the homecoming.

Rumor da tarde


imprecação à solidez do sol

na penúria de água



despojo de oração inútil

na inquietude da alma



sinfonia dodecafónica

no regresso a casa.
