Moss
I fell in the moss
I grasped the grass
I bit the earth
I pressed myself against
The Earth.
I held it tightly.
Nothing stirred
I waited.
The air moved, slightly,
The grass moved
The leaves moved in the trees
A thousand insects moved -
I moved and
The World moved,
Lightly.
I was not
Deceived.
Musgo
Eu caí no musgo
Eu agarrei a grama
Eu mordi a terra
Eu me pressionei contra
A Terra.
Eu a segurei firme.
Nada se mexeu
Eu esperei.
O ar se moveu, levemente,
A grama se mexeu
As folhas se moveram nas árvores
Mil insetos se moveram -
Eu me movi e
O Mundo se moveu,
Levemente.
Eu não fui
Enganado.
