The afternoon departs

It's always the magic moment of the day.


A water line: the River Sado that leaves towards Setúbal.

It's an afternoon, among the many thousands of afternoons we've ever lived. How many ended up in a magnificent sunset?


How many more times will we see a sun stretching among colours of fire?


Maybe a hundred more times until we die and go to other stops, believing that our atoms will return, taking different forms.


Perhaps the waters of this very river.
