  • Rafael Narvalhas quotedlast year
    And yet, more often we were silent, preferring
    the river over anything we could say—
  • Rafael Narvalhas quotedlast year
    Outside the car, the cows and pastures are drifting away;
    they look calm, but calm is not the truth.
    Despair is the truth. This is what
    mother and father know. All hope is lost.

    my true self,

    robust but sour,

    like an alarm clock.
