Mandaste a sombra de um beijo Na brancura de um papel: Tremi de suto e desejo, Beijei chorando o papel. No entanto, deste o teu beijo A um homem que não amavas! Esqueceste o meu desejo Pelo de quem não amavas! Da sombra daquele beijo Que farei, se a tua boca É dessas que sem desejo Podem beijar outra boca?
