Quando eu descobri
Que você teve leucemia
Quase cheguei a acreditar
Que algum deus existia
Hoje eu completei
A idade que você tinha
Quando me fez pensar
Que o amor não passa de uma língua fria
Colocada em minha boca
Como em um rito da eucaristia
E antes de morrer
Será que você sentiu um mau auguro?
Pelos meninos como eu
Que hoje tem pavor de dormir no escuro
Hoje vou sorrir
Você cai no esquecimento
Sete palmos do chão
Sem orgulho e sem lamento
Ao verme que roer
Essa carne imunda que teve seu nome
Dedico essa memória
Minha história redimida em sua fome
