Dois Semblantes

Renato Sakate 1978 (Botucatu)



Acorda novamente o lenhador
após disputa curta, vil, funesta...
Sua calma estava perto, na floresta,
mas seu machado verte sangue e dor.

Pobre lenhador, entregou-se à festa
permitiu levar-se pelo calor.
Louco! Calou o bramido de pavor
com a lâmina quente, rente à testa.

Inconsequente, impôs seu testamento
sobre o cúmplice sujo e agonizante
induzindo o mais fácil julgamento.

Porém a morte em ódio foi tão grande
que o povo descobriu seu movimento:
Trair a todos! Sorrindo dois semblantes.
