Read:
The Amazon River is the largest in the world,
but the river of the Tank is the smallest,
(Sliding on my brother's farm)
The Doce river bathes bitter lands
of maleita, iron and melancholy.
The Penha stream, this poor one,
barely made a shallow well
where people, fleeing, bathed.
Maybe because I lacked running water,
today I have it dammed in my eyes
and in this vague river version.
Carlos Drummond de Andrade. "Poetry". Nova Aguilar: Rio de Janeiro, 2002.
