O Silêncio

Arnaldo Antunes Arnaldo Antunes

The Silence

before the computer existed there was TV
before TV existed there was electric light
before electric light existed there was a bicycle
before the bicycle existed there was an encyclopedia
before the encyclopedia existed there was the alphabet
before the alphabet existed there was the voice
before the voice existed there was the silence
the silence
was the first thing that existed
a silence that no one heard
star across the sky in motion
and the sound of melting ice
growing hair noise
and the wind's music
and matter decomposing
the belly digesting bread
seed explosion under the ground
diamond born from coal
man stone plant animal flower
electric light TV computer
mixer, blender
let's listen to this silence my love
amplified in the amplifier
of the doctor's stethoscope
on the left side of the chest, this drum
