Márcia Abath
“se me viro poeta me vejo arco e flecha.”
Márcia Abath, Arqueio - ensaio poético contemporâneo

Empurrei meu corpo pra morte, enfim derrotada; me larguei sobre uma encosta íngreme e indevassável;
“Empurrei meu corpo pra morte, enfim derrotada; me larguei sobre uma encosta íngreme e indevassável; caí rolando, esfolada por pedregulhos, esfaqueada por galhos até um córrego de esgoto? O qual continuou me empurrando para o além, próximo à morte, longe da vida; colado ao verso do inferno.”
Filipe Russo, Asfixia
