bilby commented on the word brought
I brought the candles
Of wax and bees’ wings
They’re not pure, Mother
But they can burn all night
I brought the song
It’s not clear, Mother
But it has the right birds
To follow the days as they fall
Between my time and yours.
- Ana Paula Tavares, 'I brought flowers . . .', translated from the Portuguese by Richard Zenith.
