Speaking to me addiction while I write to me

in comma's solitude

hindrances of thought

in dots' silence

paragraphs of everything weaved in the game of words

that we lose

cause we repeat things that pressure the blood too much

more than veins

and the beds where we silently fall asleep

don't belong to us.

na solidão de vírgulas

escolhos do pensamento

no silêncio de pontos

parágrafos de tudo o que se tece no jogo das palavras

que perdemos

porque repetimos coisas que nos pressionam o sangue

mais do que as veias

e não são nossas as camas onde adormecemos

calados.
