Left behind
The tracks were clear.
Few men on the platform.
The last inbound empty.
You swiftly left with the 6:15,
on a winter afternoon.
if you gaze into the abyss…
He who fights with monsters
might take care lest he thereby
become a monster.
And if you stare for long
the abyss stares back
Beyond Good And Evil. Friedrich Nietzsche.

Tejo
When you will walk along the Tejo
Observe the seagull boats at the Atlantic border
And avoid the long queues for the tower of Belem
If you proceed with strong heart and clean mind
You will not be disappointed when you will reach the end of Tejo
