ashes

one more thing she says remember
that curious notion of theirs
they believe for some reason
that they will live ever after
and that the cats and the butterflies
on the contrary die for good

they believe she says
that there is someone
who owes them
some of them even know precisely
the sum total of this debt

but we are something different she says
yes i agree completely different
for some reason with us it is
we will never know why and it's ok

so we keep walking in the tall grass
where cats are chasing butterflies
and leap catching with their paws
only the empty bright air
the butterflies laugh silently
the cats smile in response
another wonderful day
of the unexpected eternity

except for those ashes
grinding on our teeth

Замечательно - оба варианта!

Интересно, а если перевести с английского на русский- тщательно, корректно, сильно либудет отличаться от первоначального варианта.

Вопрос, как мне кажется, довольно бессмысленный. Это же я сам переводил, имея в виду не абстрактные значения слов, а именно то, что я написал.
