The bench is made of stone and it reads:

"Congresso de gaivotas neste céu
Como uma tampa azul cobrindo o Tejo.
Querela de aves, pios, escarcéu.
Ainda palpitante voa um beijo.

Donde teria vindo! (Não é meu...)
De algum quarto perdido no desejo?
De algum jovem amor que recebeu
Mandado de captura ou de despejo?

Alexandre O'Neill"
