Time goes through speech repetition
memory is yesterday
daily mobile looking hoarsens the voice
without surprise
still avid of marine breeze
blowing on the face
salting the lips
dampening the eyes
murmuring tide
surfing love.

///

Le discours se répète au long du temps
la mémoire c'est hier
mobile quotidien regard s'enroue à la voix
sans surprise
encore avide de la brise marine
qui souffle la face
sale les lièvres
humidifie les yeux
murmure marée
ondule amour.

///

O discurso repete-se ao longo do tempo
a memória é ontem
móbil olhar quotidiano enrouquece a voz
sem surpresa
ainda ávido de brisa marinha
que sopra no rosto
salga os lábios
humedece os olhos
murmura maré
ondula amor.
