Não lavei o corpo pois tinha os rastros dos teus gestos; tinha também, o meu corpo, a sagrada profanação do teu olhar que não lavei. Nem aqueles lençóis, não os lavei, nem os espelhos, que continuam onde sempre estiveram: porque eles nos viram cúmplices, e a paixão, no...

What you held in your hand, what you counted and carefully saved, all this must go so you know how desolate the landscape can be between the regions of kindness.
