Shadow

Translated by Lourenço Ramos

They look out for us,

But what if I could look out for you,

Inside your very being?

Your presence fitting within me,

Bringing it latched onto mine,

Living in your eyes and arms,

Walking on you and only on you.

Being your constant shadow.

To the point where the eyes

Of a serene traveler

Would not be able to look into my soul.

If I looked out for you,

I would know that in your shadow

Is where my home would be.
