Joe's Bar
The crowd in the "Joe's Bar"
is almost human
smiling smoke spirals around the words.

Glasses straighten up colourless by the kiss of lips
caress of hands
musics and glimpses.

"That's nice the music sounds perfect" she said.

The crowd in the "Joe's Bar"
is almost certain
fades away night spirals around the silence.
A multidão no "Joe's Bar"
é quase humana
sorri em espirais de fumo à roda de palavras.

Copos perfilam-se exangues no beijo de lábios
carícia de mãos
no som e no olhar.

"That's nice the mucic sounds perfect" she said.

A multidão no "Joe's Bar"
é quase certo
desfaz-se em espirais de noite à roda do silêncio.
