You pass me the bread and the coffee
by Rosa Alice Branco. Translated by Alexis Levitin.
from Live Concert, Concerto ao Vivo ( & etc, 2012)

Bread is a good excuse for beginning
the day. We went along chatting filled with time
and the smell of coffee made our words
bold.
You had not dissolved me yet
in the colors of the night
