transversals, the woman
and the word erect
(from)the wall
the silence's clay

together they melt under their feet
the promised land, the salt
the pitchers, the water

they mold
the mutual body

they spell / they dawn

///

transversais, a mulher
e a palavra erguem
(d)o muro
o barro do silêncio

juntas fundem sob os pés
a terra prometida, o sal
os cântaros, a água

moldam
o corpo mútuo

soletram / amanhecem
