A água benta que batizou
Contaminou o bebê
A medicina e o seu doutor
Nada puderam fazer
O desespero se apoderou
Do padre, do pai, da mãe
Foi quando então alguém se lembrou
De um feiticeiro de
Ossãin
Um simples banho de folhas fez
O que não se esperava mais
Depois, depois muitos muitos anos depois
Rapaz,
Aquele menino já então rapaz
Se fez, um rei entre os grandes
Babalaôs
Dos tais, dos tais como já não se fazem mais
A água benta que ao bel prazer, se desmagnetizou
Desconectada do seu poder
Por um capricho do amor
Amor condutor do elan vital
Que o chinês chama de chi
Que
Don
Juan chama de nagual
Que não circulava ali
Ali na grã pia batismal
O amor deixara de fluir
Talvez, por mero defeito na ligação
Sutil,entre a essência e a representação
Verbal, que tem que fazer todo coração
Mortal, ao balbuciar sua oração
A água benta que o bom cristão
Contaminou sem querer
A fonte suja que o sacristão
Utilizou sem saber
A força neutra que move a mão
Do assassino o punhal
E o bisturi do cirurgião
O todo total do
Tao
Lâmina quântica do querer
Que o feiticeiro sabe ler
Fractal, de olho na fresta da imensidão
Sinal, do mistério na cauda do pavão
Igual, ao mistério na juba do leão
Igual, ao mistério na presa do narval
