Addiction

Erase yourself with
living or dead
substance

Endeavour to reach the central incommodious
where the truth insists on to reveal its pain

A lot of salivating mass to constrict your center
A tongue with dirty sapidity to conceal the true affliction

Destroy your body at last
in the vain hope of liberty
because tyrannic is the spirit.

(Eder Giovani Savio, 2017)


Some chairs were arranged on the terrace. The traveler thought the place would be conducive to meditation. But his spirit became obscure by the passing of the hours and the beers, without ever producing one slightest coherent reflection.

Vício

Apagar a si mesmo
com matéria
morta ou viva

Tentar atingir o incômodo central
onde a verdade insiste em se fazer sentir.

Um monte de massa salivada para apertar
Uma língua com gosto de suja para desdoer a dor verdadeira.

Destruir o próprio corpo enfim,
na vã esperança de liberdade
porquanto tirano o espírito.
