O Avô Cavernoso

O avô cavernoso
Instituiu a chuva
Ratificou a demora
Persignou-se
Ninguém o chora agora
Perfumou-se
Vinte mil léguas de virgens vieram
Inutéis e despidas
Flores de malva
E a boina bem segura
Sobre a calva
Ao avô cavernoso quem viu a tonsura?
E a tenda dos milagres e a privada?
Na tenda que foi nítida conjura
As flores de malva murcham devagar
Devagar
Até que se ouvem gritos, matinadas
