There are firedays
we swallow lifelong.
The light becomes so intense
that bodies are
radiographed.

Embers
from the soul's combustion
cool down in the stomach
before coming of definite
darkness.

///

DIA DO JUÌZO FINAL

Há dias de fogo
que engolimos ao longo da vida.
A luz torna-se tão intensa
que os corpos são
radiografados.

No estômago
arrefecem as brasas
da combustão da alma
antes que chegue a escuridão
definitiva.
