this photo by Armando Taborda

I look for the slow top transformation
An intense sound. The wind in the closed tree
The quiet tree that does not come to meet me.
I call it with whistles, I summon the birds
And I love the slow blossom of flocks.
I look for a flight top, a too long
Plateau. And I love so much
The tree that opens the flower in silence.

///

Procuro o lento cimo da transformação
Um som intenso. O vento na árvore fechada
A árvore parada que não vem ao meu encontro.
Chamo-a com assobios, convoco os pássaros
E amo a lenta floração dos bandos.
Procuro o cimo de um voo, um planalto
Muito extenso. E amo tanto
A árvore que abre a flor em silêncio.
