by the sea

The dancers form a circle of sighs,
with voices suffocated on the night of chromium
They are dressed in white as ghosts
Subjected by the religion, the sound slaves.

I look at them, sat on a chair,
Remote from the night when slide their steps,
Foreigner come from a materialist world
Where we exchange the iron rather than pain.

The ground resists and their voices rebel,
Softly, monotonous and subdued,
Their feet rub as lizards
Amazed on the night which inhales them, unfaithful.

Here I am in this Brazilian world of everything
Little comfortable, witness of the past which moves,
The trance of the dancers did not take place,
The ground resists and my voice rebels with night.

Fine writing Yann,
“Here I am in this Brazilian world of everything
Little comfortable, witness of the past which moves” such true lines.

"Hardwork pays in the long run"
