Sunglasses on the sidewalk

my sunglasses fall off
on the sidewalk
sun stops shining
at my feet
the glasses wait
for me to lift them from the ground
and the sun
hidden by clouds
waits for the rain
to fall

///

caem-me os óculos de sol
na calçada
o sol deixa de brilhar
a meus pés
os óculos esperam
que os levante do chão
e o sol
espera que a chuva
caia
