" Going" is searching for a publisher

Where’s that car going as fast as a lightning?

It’s going to win a race.

Let’s see who’s driving it!

Where’s that balloon going, blown by the wind?

It’s heading a tropical island,

where cousin Tom lives in. 

(...)

And where am I going, does anyone guess?

Listening to a wonderful story,

being read by my friend Glory.

What about you?

Where are you going?        

From the children chant " Going" by Luisa Costa Macedo

                                                                                            

Fundo

Mordi a maçã laminada do Adão
mergulhando nesse fundo líquido-fresco,
fluía a conversa num sorriso aberto
soltando a respiração em fuga de arabesco.

Lá no fundo onde se vê o mundo de permeio
azul, cinza, verde, branco,
luminoso, chuvoso ou de veraneio,
descontraio agora num silêncio sem receio.

Infantil que sou agora outra vez
ou que nunca o quis deixar de ser,
saboreio então as horas passadas
sem esforço nem rodeios, só mesmo ele: o prazer.
