The Voice of Things

Only the wind’s gusts
give lyrical sound
to the windmill’s sails.

Only things touched
by the love of other things
have a voice.

DA VOZ DAS COISAS

DA VOZ DAS COISAS

Só a rajada de vento
dá o som lírico
às pás do moinho.

Somente as coisas tocadas
pelo amor das outras
têm voz.
