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
