REQUIREMENTS

By Pedro Du Bois (Balneário Camboriú, SC)

(Marina Du Bois, English version)

The rite requires an uneasiness

of the artist when

improvised scenes

are presented

the rite requires respect to the moment

when the poet disrespects

the time when words

run over rigor and the text explodes

                                              on paper

the rite requires the denial

greeting of what happens

in the recovered memory

when I see myself in you.
