I like the blue phase of the white nights
while red alive blood cells
are floating in the aqueous dream's
gray
against the darkest background of blindly clenched
eyes.
Gosto da fase azul das noites em branco
quando no cinzento aquoso do sonho
flutuam glóbulos de sangue vermelho
vivo
contra o fundo dos olhos cegamente cerrados de negro
intenso.
