 Rustling shadows

Day after day, after day, after day, until one day…
And then, not even a day goes by and someone
(someone else) comes to clean up the place…
Few garbage bags: our memories.

rustling shadows –
an origami crane
through the shredder




Snowflake

One fine day, when you will see a single snowflake, it will not be a sign of winter coming, but of me being close to you.

Alzheimer’s –
the purest snow is nothing
but masked mud




I, you, we…

The shell that once hurt your sole, I’ve kept it ever since with me; a red drop on my neckline…
I keep trying to find my way, and as I don’t, I go back to the sea and ask about you. But the sea, pushed away by alluvial soils, is no longer where I left it.
Same as you…
Or me?

I, you, we –
some sand that settles
in the central void

sat abandonat –

la ușa mănăstirii,

covoraș nou

 

abandoned village –

at the monastic entrance,

a new doormat

zi de mers la pescuit

deșeuri

 

Sunday –

time to go fishing

the waste

apă tulbure –

luna încâlcindu-se

într-o perucă

 

murky water –

the moon tangling

in a wig

ploaie subțire –

umbra ce zăcea uscată

deschide gura

 

light rain –

the drying shadow

opens its mouth

ziua-n care marea

te-ar păstra doar pentru ea –

curenți de retur

 

the day when the sea

would keep you only for itself –

rip currents

experiment –

lăsați de către Ghid

în fundătură

left by the Guide

in a dead end

fluturii mai stau un timp

în crisalidă

 

virtual flowers –

butterflies stay a bit longer

in their chrysalis
