Around me there is too much green
but also red orange yellow blue indigo and violet
colours wrap me as a rainbow
sweat drops refract my body
with feet in a pond
the head undulates
the chest distends as an arch
without hunger
nor sleep
or thirst
or dream. À minha volta há muito verde
mas também vermelho laranja amarelo azul indigo e violeta
as cores embrulham-me em arco-iris
gotas de suor refractam-me o corpo
com os pés no charco
a cabeça ondula
o peito distende-se em arco
sem fome
nem sono
nem sede
nem sonho.
