Tatuagem

I want to stay on your body
Like a tattoo
To give you courage
To continue the journey
When the night comes

And also to perpetuate myself
In your slave
That you grab, rub
Deny, but don't wash

I want to play on your body
Like a ballerina
Who soon gets excited
Jumps and enlightens you
When the night comes

And on the exhausted muscles
Of your arm
To rest loose, limp, full,
Dead tired

I want to weigh like a cross
On your back
That cuts you into pieces
But deep down you like it
When the night comes

I want to be the scar
Smiling and corrosive
Marked in cold
Iron and fire
In living flesh

Mother's hearts, harpoons
Mermaids and serpents
That scribble on you
The whole body
But you don't feel
