Ships leave the island,
Ships arrive at the island…
—The island is a ship
that ran ashore
in the middle of the ocean
and covered itself with sea mist
and penetrated it self with ocean smell
and became accustomed to being
the ridge of a wave…
I left on a ship…
now I feel the emptiness
of missing the sea…
without the sea, all is borders
and the borders choke me…
(Author, Cristóvão de Aguiar)
