his last flight ends with open eyes and closed beak
the secrets of all winds he crossed become mute
chirping no longer vibrates his bones lightness
feathers don't warm his body anymore
each bird lying on the ground
is a dream of ours that dies.
seu último voo termina de olhos abertos e bico fechado
emudecem os segredos de todos os ventos que trespassou
o chirear não mais lhe vibra na leveza dos ossos
as penas jamais lhe aquecem o corpo
cada pássaro caído no chão
é um sonho nosso que morre.
