Anna Kövecses, Ipanema
In a house in Ipanema surrounded by trees and birds
in the hot shade of afternoon
among familiar furniture
in the hot shade of afternoon
among trees and birds
among familiar odours
they live their lives
they live my life
in the shade of a hot afternoon
in the shadow of a hot afternoon
Ferreira Gullar*, 1930-2016
