Outro Testamento - Vitorino Nemésio 2007-02-20 15:13:00 No aniversário da morte do autor, há 19 anos, deixo aqui este seu "Outro Testamento":
Figos
Quando eu morrer deitem-me nu à cova
Como uma libra ou uma raiz,
Dêem a minha roupa a uma mulher nova
Para o amante que a não quis.
Façam coisas bonitas por minha alma:
Espalhem moedas, rosas, figos.
Dando-me terra dura e calma,
Cortem as unhas aos meus amigos.
Quando eu morrer mandem embora os lírios

Soltas, ombros abaixo, os revoltos cabelos,
Que te envolvem num longo e veludoso abraço;
E, como um rio negro, os seus negros novelos
Rolam no vale em flor do teu brando regaço.
E, na louca embriaguez dos meus sentidos, pelos
Cinco oceanos do Sonho o meu roteiro faço,
A senti-los na mão, beijá-los e mordê-los,
