Samba Fatal
Marcos Valle
Fatal Samba
He woke up between the magical and the mystical
the practical and the political
the prophetic and the poetic
the tragic and the eerie
Dawned between studying or keeping quiet
drinking or fighting
dreaming or speaking
singing or shouting
He thought about dying of fear
or saving his skin
or keeping a secret
or cutting his hair
He left saying goodbye
praying to God
thinking about his own
and did it for yours
Heroic or paranoid
historic or hysterical
suicide or murder
his act of death
was a fact of life
