Essa semana
tem o mesmo gosto ruim
de uma outra, num verão,
quando eu tinha dez anos
e fiquei de castigo
por ter chutado um garoto
que torceu o meu braço
enquanto brincávamos
onde sabia que ele sentiria.
This week has the same bitter taste
of another one
in the summer when I was ten
and I was grounded
for kicking a boy who
had hurt me while we were playing
where I knew he would feel it.
