I Need Painkillers Poem by Ediney Santana

I need painkillers
marijuana, aspirin,
lidocaine, cocaine,
pitu, Novenas da Purificação.
I need a road that
Take me away,
Leave me close to the
invisible of life.
Do not wake me up in the new year,
leave me alone
with my ashes of the old year.
I need Christ
or some old ancestor.
Love could be
something possible, but it is not.
Há arames no meu espírito,
I need to take care of me.
Preciso saber
que o punhal nas
minhas costas foi eu quem o cravei.
