Os pais são filhos ou netos
De campeiros que emigraram
Largando a doma dos potros
Pra empurrar carros de mão
Cambiaram seus campos verdes
Que viam ao clarear do dia
Por léguas de sesmarias
Cinzentadas de concreto
Perderam o rumo das roças
E a noção dos horizontes
Pra se amontoar como ratos
Nas cabeceiras de ponte
Quem teve doces na infância
Quando come não se suja
Mas quem nunca comeu doces
Quando come se lambuza
Caras magras lambuzadas
Olhos grandes regalados
Pra "mesa dos inocentes"
— Promessa que o povo faz —
E um verão de cigarras
No coração dos piás
Imagens de santos velhos
Olham a infância no altar
Anjos loiros transparentes
Com asas pra não voar
