Amuletos e outras muiraquitãs

Acabo de chegar ao Recife. Minha bagagem não teve a mesma sorte. Que maratona. Leio no Festival Internacional de Poesia amanhã à noite, às 20:00. Por ora, preciso dormir e lavar as roupas do corpo para ter o que vestir até encontrarem minha mala. Antes de ir para a cama, vou ler de novo o que estava dentro do amuleto-muiraquitã que alguém me deu antes de sair de Berlim, para carregar enquanto estivesse longe.
