[Perguntas-me do silêncio]

Perguntas-me do silêncio
eu digo
             meu amor que sabes tu
             do eco do silêncio
             como podes pedir-me palavras
                                          e tempo
             se só o silêncio permite
             ao amor mais limpo
             erguer a voz
             no rumor dos corpos
