Coração Nordestino
Braúlio Bessa
Northeastern Heart
The sidewalk conversations
The ghost stories
On top of a truck
The unexpected change
Well-seasoned chicken
Without using fine seasoning
Strong break in a boy
For the healer to bless
All of this makes
A northeastern heart beat
Rain shower in the corner
Burnt coconut ice cream
Boy hanging
In the arms of a midwife
Chatty manicurist
The skinny and moldy cattle
Novenas to the divine, prayers for rain
All of this makes
A northeastern heart beat
When we look up
We can see the Moon
Walking in the middle of the street
Without fear of robbery
Without clandestine concrete
A crystalline reservoir
A scent in the beloved
All of this makes
A northeastern heart beat
An old woman at the window
