Seated on my spaceship of surrounding and concise

sand

I watch seagulls blind of light

in a difficult flight over the sea.

The sail-black-flock of seagulls

flaps rumour of salt

on the beach my eyes blind of light

without route over the sea.

Sentado em minha nave de areia circundante

e concisa

avisto gaivotas cegas de luz

em difícil voo sobre o mar.

A vela-negro-bando de gaivotas

drapeja rumores de sal

sobre a praia meus olhos cegos de luz

sem rumo no mar.
