REASON
I sing because the moment there
and my life is complete.
"m Not gay nor am sad:
I am a poet.
Brother of fleeting things,
I do not feel joy or torment.
Go through nights and days
in the wind.
If fall apart or if I build,
if I remain or come undone,
- I do not know, do not know. Do not know whether to be
or step.
I know that corner. And the song is everything.
Blood has eternal rhythmic wing.
And I know someday I"ll be mute:
- more
(Cecilia Meireles)
