Fruta Madura

Renato Sakate 1978 (Botucatu)



Ternura, fruta madura, mulher
contemplo os lábios qual cego, no tato
habito as lentes das mentes; contato
o seu retrato: fino, alvo e de pé!

Quando meu trigo acabava de fato
você, mulher, lambuzava a colher
me mordiscava da noite ao café,
não reclamava o sabor de meu prato.

Por isso, o instante que volta do nada,
minha ternura, é qual fruta madura
caída do pé sem qualquer chacoalhada

que se despede, indecente à amargura,
da vida antiga tão mal desfrutada
despindo-se úmida à mi'a semeadura.
