Foi-se o tempo deixando longo espaço

Renato Sakate 1978 (Botucatu)



E o tempo caminhava conservante
em notória passada larga e dura.
Ali não se via luz, tampouco lua,
como se não houvessem... Depois nem antes.

A estridência do cuco se ouvia muda
condenado em seu último rompante.
Tudo deixou de ser, fez-se constante
como a sombra que à sombra é nada escura.

Foi-se o tempo deixando longo espaço
para a massa cinzenta da memória
congelar-se na arritmia do compasso.

E por fim fracasso tornou-se glória,
bem como glória tornou-se fracasso.
Meio assim, desde o início ao fim da história.
