This weeping willow!
Why do you not plant a few / For the millions of children not yet born, / As well as for us?
Are they not non-existent, or cells asleep / Without mind?
Or do they come to earth, their birth / Rupturing the memory of previous being?
Answer! The field of unexplored intuition is yours.
But in any case why not plant willows for them, / As well as for us?
