Reflex\u00e3o de Lisa McElaney<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reflex\u00e3o<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

O poema Testemunho, de Rebecca Badge, escrito para suas duas filhas, \u00e9 uma salva-vidas para mim nos tempos da COVID. Quero acreditar nisso. Mas, \u00e0s vezes, isso significa que tenho que afirmar essa cren\u00e7a. Muitas das pessoas com quem trabalho enfrentam desafios constantes diante da pandemia e da necess\u00e1ria reflex\u00e3o sobre a quest\u00e3o racial. A exaust\u00e3o \u00e9 palp\u00e1vel e a resist\u00eancia est\u00e1 sendo testada. Sinto-me chamada a renovar minha pr\u00f3pria f\u00e9 na humanidade \u2013 e na humildade \u2013 ao ler essas linhas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Testemunho<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

por Rebecca Badge<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quero lhe dizer
que o mundo ainda \u00e9 bonito... <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quero que voc\u00ea olhe repetidamente, 
para reconhecer as ervas arom\u00e1ticas,
arrumado como os finos pelos de um beb\u00ea
em torno dos seus dedos, de forma recorrente 
um milagre, ver que o rio se agita
brilhar como Deus, para que a luz seja 
vozes do laranja e do ouro 
As folhas de outubro est\u00e3o rindo da morte. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quero que voc\u00ea olhe para baixo
a relva, para nota 
Os fr\u00e1geis hier\u00f3glifos 
de formiga, caracol, besouro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quero que voc\u00ea entenda que voc\u00ea \u00e9
N\u00e3o \u00e9 mais nem menos necess\u00e1rio 
em compara\u00e7\u00e3o com o solit\u00e1rio marrom, o rubi- 
corujinha-de-bico-redondo, a coruja-de-bico-redondo 
o baleia, a mimosa viciada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quero dizer, como Neruda, 
que estou esperando 
\u201cuma grande e comum ternura\u201d,\u201d 
que ainda acredito 
somos capazes de prestar aten\u00e7\u00e3o, 
que qualquer pessoa que perceba o mundo 
tem de querer salv\u00e1-lo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
