The futebol de praia player standing in the beach. Seagulls fly.
Surfer with Geese
Surfboard.
We fly with Swans
White swans.
Black Sunga
With Swand and Hummingbird.
White short with Seagulls
Surrounded by them
We fly in the Waves
With birds that fly like us.
Jump!
With doves.
We were looking for the waves
As seagulls do.
We were alone.
But they are always accompanying us.
Waiting for the sun.
With cactae surrounding us.
Surfboards.
With their points buried in the sun of the Summer and we are sweating in the surf suit.
We were looking in the horizon,
But they never came.
We were
disappearing.
We were
Loosing color and eaten by the old dreams flying as seagulls.
We were
Beautiful as old Gods..
Standing
in front of the sea the whole time.
With the old birds
From the Egyptian Pantheon.
