fingers

Audience Of One _ rise against

I can still remember

The words and what they meant

As we etched them with our fingers

In years of wet cement

The days blurred into each other

Though everything seemed clear

We cruised along at half speed

But then we shifted gears

We ran like vampires from a thousand burning suns

But even then we should have stayed

But we ran away

Now all my friends 're gone

Maybe we've outgrown all the things that we once loved

Runaway

But what are we running from ?

A show of hands from those in this audience of one

Where have they gone ?

Identities assume us

As nine and five add up

Synchronizing watches

To the seconds that we lost

I looked up and saw you

I know that you saw me

We froze but for a moment

In empathy

I brought down the sky for you but all you did was shrug

You gave my emptiness a name

But you ranaway

Now all my friends 're gone

Maybe we've outgrown all the things that we once loved

Runaway

But what are we running from ?

A show of hands from those in this audience of one

Where have they gone ?

We're all ok, until the day we're not

The surface shines, while the inside rots

We raced the sunset and we almost won

We slammed the brakes, but the wheels went on

We ran away

Now all my friends 're gone

Maybe we've outgrown all the things that we once loved

Runaway

But what are we running from ?

A show of hands from those in this audience of one

Where have they gone ?

 

Lua nova (NÃO O FILME!)

Lua Nova (Manuel Bandeira)

Meu novo quarto
Virado para o nascente:
Meu quarto, de novo a cavaleiro da entrada da barra.


Depois de dez anos de pátio
Volto a tomar conhecimento da aurora.
Volto a banhar meus olhos no mênstruo incruento das madrugadas.


Todas as manhãs o aeroporto em frente me dá lições de partir:
Hei de aprender com ele
A partir de uma vez
- Sem medo,
Sem remorso,
Sem saudade.


Não pensem que estou aguardando a lua cheia
- Esse sol da demência
Vaga e noctâmbula.
O que eu mais quero,
O de que preciso
É de lua nova



PS: Fui procurar no google imagens das fases da lua, coloquei: "Lua nova",
e fudeu, tudo era do filme, eu tinha esquecido que um dos filmes dessa coisa
se chamava Lua nova, aí tive que especificar. CÉUS!
