flowers die quickly
but then bloom again
men die early
and aren't reborn from the roots
mountains
indifferently
guard all dead
but only the flowers
notice that

///

as flores morrem depressa
mas depois reflorescem
os homens morrem cedo
mas não renascem das raízes
as montnhas
indiferentemente
vigiam todos os mortos
mas só as flores
dão por isso
