Nothing justifies our destiny of shadows
nor fire
nor flame
nor ember
we just burn
sparks jumping from the fire crackle for instants
and scintillate
in the smoke
that extinguishes them.
Nada justifica nosso destino de sombras
nem fogueira
nem chama
nem brasa
ardemos simplesmente
por instantes crepitam centelhas que evolam do fogo
e cintilam
no fumo
onde se apagam.
