Îmi fac rugăciunea

Am colindat azi toată ziua
galeriile comerciale –
văd în jurul meu numai
LUCRURI,
am rămas cu gândul la ele …
Îmi fac rugăciunea şi
Dumnezeuîmiapare
subformă de geantă.

As I’m Saying My Prayers

I’ve been roaming all day
through boutiques –
looking around I see nothing but
THINGS,
they abide in my mind…
As I’m saying my prayers
God is standing before me
in the form of a handbag.

Împreună

Am văzut
oraţă cu şasepuiînurmaei
peCişmigiu –
te-am sunatrepede
să vii
să-i vedem împreună
şi până-n momentul
când ai apărut
mi-am feritochii
deimaginealor.

Together

I saw
a duck with six ducklings in tow
on the Cişmigiu pond –
I gave you a call straight away
and asked you to come
so we’d see them together
and up to the moment
I saw you
I averted my eyes
from the scene.

Mi-e frică de mare

Mi-e frică de mare,
de gura ei,
larg căscată,
de gurile ei prefăcute
care par să îţi lingă picioarele,
smerite,
dar te muşcă…
Marea salivează tot timpul
dupăpicioarelenoastre.

I’m afraid of the sea

I’m afraid of the sea,
of her mouth,
gaping wide,
of her treacherous mouths
pretending to kiss the soles of your feet
in humility,
yet ready to bite…
The sea’s constantly slobbering
over our feet.
