POEME ROMÂNESTI ÎN LIMBI STRĂINE

Elegii lîngã ape / Elegies by the waters
I.
You stay and say
„Good-bye”' to me
But it's you the good I need
I go away and my life shakes
Young tree inside me
II.
Into a cloud turns my step
you were the falling dew
that kissed the men's eyelash
from the Hell to Eden
into a sky changes my eye
a wheel that shows the lights
my lady, o, my dear lady
the roots send out leaves
Before the pack of wolves I stood
A shield were all my loves
Never before was my life clay
As it is now
III.
Cruel
this loneliness
that fails to heal the wounds
and the sky between us
was just a seeming stream
the grass high in waves gently bends
to cover your shadow
in its smoky gait
you get rid of the burden
and I dream about the rain, a sheen bride,
that won't have the earth for the home
to fall down on
IV.
In every place you'll remain afloat
towards me you'll ever flow
the wave that holds you, the dream
in store for you, the wheat
wed to bread know the clay
after the longing for the present rains
when bleeds in its hands
the field barren to its far end...
The autumn's star shall fall off the sky window
all in tears by gods
you alone will flow in this world
and hanker for the shore of my shoulders
V.
Beyond time you carried the sky in your arms
with a last smile the path of the dew
and no one shall know whence the storm comes
on secret wheels
it's late in the green of the house
and the daybreaks fall asleep by the window's mouth
it's moon in me and you'll probably leave guilty
with a pace wary to avoid the cry of the leaf and
the rain
for which once you were earth more living than life
and the place
that resembles a forgotten wonder: living before
mankind and time with an earthly dream
VI.
The trees drink wind
at a forest inn, the hours
under the axe
break their neck
Buried in oblivion
From another twilight
all the skies flow
Over the mankind
He who's bound you
to the present dew
shall get a shelter
after nine eternities
When in place of a house
The rays break up.
