“Vera, Seda, Cavalo, Vapor” by André da Loba

17.10.2020 ------> 23.01.2021

The war is over. Spring arrives full of purity, truth, and affection. Mischievous. Freedom, daughter of winds, shining seeds, feathers, leaves and wild berries. Ancient films and hours. Insects. Small shadows. Small wounds. Little birds. Let the young be raised and to hell with the rest. Your luck is your courage. Cloud, rain. Take off your shoes and dive into the sky. The breast of the saint loosens knots, loosens us. It rains. Lie down with the harvest. Full-moon silence. Your pain is also the pain of the world, tear everything from the trunk outward. To sprout. Maybe that is what love is.
