She is pisces, of course. After an excessively dull year in cold and gray Scandinavia, she left the plane in Rio thirsty for glamour. Before letting her friends and family know of her arrival in the tropical paradise, she checked in at the legendary Copacabana Palace. 
Bubble bathing in Amazon scented salts, soothed her cold body and lifted her spirit. She was starting to feel like herself again. There was something missing, though… but she knew exactly where to find it. 
Jumping into her swimsuit and called the room service:
– I am going to have breakfast on the beach with someone very special. Can you please send me your freshest bunch of bananas and your coolest bottle of champagne?
And so went she! Out to the beach to toast and have a feast with the most luxurious company of all: the magnificent Brazilian sun.

Dots of Light

My best friends are gone. And although I feel their absence, I was already prepared for it. Earlier this year, when everything was dark and covered with snow, I anticipated my suffering... I saw each of them leaving, I heard the words of farewell, I shade tears. After so much anticipation, overcoming the pain was also anticipated. I know I'm not loosing anyone. I know we're just spreading. And, from now on, every time I think of the world, I'll think of each of my friends on it, as if they were torches. Then I will be happy and feel comfortable knitting in my mind a mesh of light, connecting people who love me and whom I love so much.

And we'll make plans for us to visit each other and it'll bring me excitement and energy!

The bare fact that I got to know that such people exist, made it all worthwhile.

Granny's Advise

I was on the phone with my grandmother, saying:

- Oh Granny, that's fine! He was not my type anyway... You know: I like the long-haired, the communists, the

and she, in all her knowledge, interrupted me:

_ Well... so you'd better go to Cuba.


She might be right. Next stop: Havana!

My mother's son in law

Today my mother asked me about her son in law.
This is what I answered:

Ma,

Your son in law is walking around the world. And, like me, waiting for the day we will meet, admire each other, respect each other, feel an incredible lust for one another, have children together and be happy and partners. Till we think it is being worth it.

Control Freak

And then I told him that I don't wanna fall madly in love right now.
As if I had any sort of power over the gravity, or its speed...

Heaven help this arrogant person that is me!

Tik-Taq

My body is a calendar
that rings red the awakening of new cycles





Remember me...
The days you wanna forget the watch.

Chichen shit

E, de novo, eu tô morrendo de medo.
Medo de ir e medo de voltar.
Medo de que tudo esteja diferente do que eu conheço (e gosto) nas minhas chegadas.

Medo porque eu sei exatamente o que me espera e posso descobrir que, na verdade, eu não sabia era nada.

Medo de chegar e perceber que não sou especial,
E de voltar e perceber que eu sou menos ainda.

Estou com medo de o calor não ser tão quente
ou da escuridão não fazer mais sentido depois de tanta lu
