old coconut tree
stricken by the years
No one knows the disappointments
Of these pale leaves, hanging,
beaten
Only the poor palm tree
The wicked wind took away
Separating two lives mercilessly
You were my palm tree
With green leaves
Hopeful green
Mere passing vision
From a gilded childhood dream
Like the stricken coconut tree
My hurt heart looks
In samba for the bonanza
From the stormy disillusion
