Flight jumping over thought
rocket centaur lunar eagle
I go with wings and manes against the wind
as a Noah cry ploughing the sea
I go through darkness on fire and smoke
snake exorcizing the death rattle
I stand up erect from blood flames
to your arms course
my love.

///

Voando a cavalgar o pensamento
centauro em foguetão águia lunar
vou de asas e de crinas contra o vento
num grito de Noé sulcando o mar
vou através da treva em fogo e em fumo
serpente a exorcizar o estertor
do sangue incendiado me ergo a prumo
ao rumo dos teus braços
meu amor.

by Fernando Pinto RIBEIRO, in "O CISNE SUBMERSO", Edium editores, 2010
