\nI carelessly take the shell\u2026<\/h2>\n

I carelessly take the shell
\nof the dew, the breeze of the one I love
\nas if these things contain
\nall mysterious virtue. They do. The shadow\u2014
\nthe inner peace of the one who lets pass
\nwho passes: the sluggish fire that celebrates
\nthe finest film
\nof the hidden female essence.<\/p>\n

Tomo, descuidado, a concha \/ do orvalho \/ a brisa de quem amo \/ como se estas coisas contivessem \/ a virtude misteriosa. Cont\u00eam. A sombra \u2500 \/ a paz interior de quem deixa passar \/ quem passa: o fogo lento que celebra \/ a pel\u00edcula mais fina \/ da obscura subst\u00e2ncia feminina.<\/span><\/p>\n
