    The document discusses the death of poet Victor Heringer, who was found dead next to his apartment building in Copacabana, Brazil. It draws parallels between his death and that of actor River Phoenix, who overdosed on a sidewalk. It notes the poet's work, including his poem "I'm not a poet". It also references messages on a mobile phone and the need to meet with romantic friends from Cuba, though it states this is not a joke. It provides context that this text is from the work "oi você sumiu" from 2012 and 2018, which is part of the Visgo Tátil languages lab series.

    «Whether or not this is a coincidence, we launched visgo tátil’s languages lab on the

    same day that the poet Victor Heringer was found dead next to his apartment building in
    Copacabana. I rested with this image of the poet’s body laying of the sidewalk of his
    building and that reminded me of River Phoenix, who had an overdose on a sidewalk at
    Viper Room nightclub 90’s California. He was an extraordinary young actor.

    Ok. If a body falls off an apartment, there are huge chances it is going to fall on a
    sidewalk, but everything might happen in between. This sounds like a mix of Guimarães
    Rosa and Enrique Vila-Matas. I think of River’s lost gaze, of Jayme OValle’s sad (blue)
    eyes, of the conection between Victor’s eyes and some secret plane. And I never see a
    bloodstain, I don’t see anything, just the shadow of the body.

    Up until then, the only piece by Victor that I knew was “I’m not a poet”, a brilliant
    poem, which said things like these: “While I have a body/ which may be confused with
    the body of a poet/ I’m not a poet […] I have the cold fingers of a computer technician/
    but I’m not as sad as a barber.” These are three images, characters, people, men,
    beautiful workers, who are peculiarly observant, careful, and delicate.

    I got Victor, River, the World Cup on my mind, and when it happens I find out that I
    urgently need to set up a meeting with romantic friends from Cuba. This may sound like
    a joke, it isn’t. If there’s any doubts, can you PM me?»
