On the foundational dark silence
...........of the forest
And without need
...........of worshipers
Temples grow with supple sculptures
...........of reaching branches,
With columns
...........of air and live sap decorated with living
Friezes, moving scenes in the lives
...........of leaves.

Therefore proclaim with the voice
...........of moss
An inviolable protectorate
...........of wrens
And another, other-continental,
...........of toucans.
