MEIO-DIA

Céu baço. Quente quebranto
se espalha,no longe,enquanto
cantam cigarras à roda...

E parou-se a vida toda;
porque o Sol tudo queimou.
Só,no ar quente,pairou
um negro corvo e poisou
sobre o montado sangrando,
nos troncos rudes despidos...

Redobram roucos zumbidos
de moscardos que passando,
em cega-rega adormecem;
entorpecendo os sentidos...

... Sobre os meus olhos cansados
e cerrados
há véus de chamas que descem...
