Eu tava lá

I was there in my house,
without thinking or imagining,
when I heard a knock at the door:
Solomon called
for help to win
the battle for liberty.
It was me, it was my brother.
It was my brother and me.
We held a fight:
neither I won, nor he.
I who never traveled,
do not intend to travel
from place to place,
here and there.
I do not know if God permits
two bodies in one tomb.
I was born here,
here made me.
