Estou Feliz

Jane is regardless of time

with a book, I am

regardless of life. In these

pages I lose myself and

forget about you and me.

I leave this place to

go where the words take

us. Today it was to

Brazil!  I learned to caminhada

and you were my cangaceiro.

We went to Carnival. And
You called me bella in

my finery. Yesterday, I was

mother to our sweet girls.

We walked through Central Park.

Tomorrow, we will walk through

Sudan, and after that, maybe

A drug addict I’ll be.

The pages wait for me

at night after I spend

each day getting by without

you I open the cover

and I’m lost and found.

And I’m happy.

Estou feliz.
