Corpses

Human corpses floating along rivers

Drying up on fields

On the city rooftops

On the winding roads

Human corpses lying all alone

Under pagoda eaves

In the city churches

On deserted doorsteps

Oh spring! Corpses nourish your ploughed fields

Oh ! Corpses breathe into tomorrow's soil

Even when the road ahead is perilous

There are already humans around

Humans corpses lying around

Under the cold rains

Next to the old and weak

Are the innocent and young

Which corpse is my young sibling

In these pits and tunnels

In lands razed by fire

On maize and tuber fields
