Here always in fight

Anguish and Shame

The anguish I feel in winter
came from the times of slavery
the pity I felt when I saw
black people sweating for life
on the other side of the Atlantic...
came... from the pain I felt,
but I didn't live... banzo
of the afro of the coffee plantations
in the Minas Gerais  life...
