EUNICE DE SOUZA
ENCONTRO NUMA FESTA EM LONDRES
Durante um minuto permanecemos desconcertadamente juntos.
Perguntas a ti mesmo em que língua hás-de falar-me,
ofereces, antes, uma cebola avinagrada num palito.
És jovem e talvez te esqueças
de que o Império vive
apenas nos sons puros das vogais que te ofereço
acima do ruído.
