LUÍSA RIBEIRO - (It rains in the express glory of your...)

It rains in the express glory of your 
eyes and a bird breaks
its path to me.

you break pieces of stars
and you don't allow for the full
moon and the clouds obey
the fire of yearning

I don't know how to submit myself to the sun
without the shadow of your
body
