Sample Work:
Poem: Pés Na Lama, Cabeça Nas Estrelas
Pés na lama, cabeça nas estrelas, assim é o humano,
já alguém o disse, o que atravessa as linhas paralelas
na procura sempre da meninice. Na ânsia do passado
que já foi no anelo do futuro que é incerto fica o
presente onde se constrói aquilo que nós somos, pois
decerto…
