Alchimie de iarna



Calc pe o punte

Ce desparte apa de aer

Si lumina de intuneric,

Unde ‘buza de jos’

Crapata de frig

Lasa sa se intrevada

Fibrele-i alipite

De dor si lumina.

Si buza de sus ma acopera

De mantia incetosata

A tacerii,

Caci tot e tacere in jur,

Sub cerul albastru,

Si totul se-ntelege

Din priviri…

//

Winter alchemy 

I walk on a bridge 

Which separates water from air 

And light out of darkness, 

Where the ‘lower lip’ 

Cracked from the cold 

Slightly outlines 

Its fibers linked 

With light and longing 

And the upper lip 

Covers me 

With the foggy coat 

Of silence, 

Cause everything around is peace, 

Under the blue skies, 

And everything is at hand 

Out of glances…
