You taught me math with beans

You wished to be seen

As my only mentor

No one's ready to say goodbye

Line of memories pass by

Of a further childhood



You heard of my winnings

In time of your failings

The whole time I was sinning

By not calling daily


Lucky to be old enough

Never old enough tought to shed a year

After you're no longer here

It was forty degrees

And still, you see 

Upon kissing your cold skin

I chilled


No one can replicate your rice

The way you did was nice

The kind to feel homesick

As soon as you saw the end

You felt like in the place to mend

You should be thankful


I wish I would care whole it still matter

Now I live my life like the earth was flatter

Because it is

My speech on the aisle to people made of iron

Unconcerned of who'd ring the siren

It's how it is 

Math with beans

Poema escrito em inglês em homenagem à minha falecida avó que me ensinou matemática através de feijões
