Três Poemas Inéditos

O teu bigode mal semeado
deixou-te à porta do teu bar mitzvah

*

Lavoura do mundo 
só me resta o trigo do teu gado
semeando-me pela manhã

*

Quero vestir a santa
com roupa de bailarico
e cobrir-lhe de coroas de flores,
vou inclinar o corpo no seguimento de
oito batimentos:
baixinho para não fervilhar

Vou dançar nos teus olhos soltos
nas tuas mãos benzidas
no teu corpo imaculado de paragens
