KÓSTAS OURÁNIS (1890-1953)
MULHERES DE PASSAGEM
Mulheres a quem vi por um instante
dentro de trens à hora em que partiam
para outro lugar, mulheres que riam
nos braços de um outro homem, exultantes;
mulheres em balcões, a olhar diante
de si, tão distraídas, o vazio,,
ou a agitar do convés de um navio
que zarpava seus lenços vacilantes:
se soubésseis com quanta nostalgia
eu vos trago de novo ao pensamento
pelas tardes de chuva, tardes frias,
mulheres que passastes um momento
em minha vida - e agora conduzis
minha alma a um exótico país!
