child pushed ashore -
smell of octopuses
drying on a string

x
copil împins la mal -
miros de caracatițe
uscate pe sârmă

war news -
a night butterfly alights
on the icon's frame

x
știri de pe front -

un fluture de noapte

pe rama icoanei

ripe cherries-
a strip of skirt
on the spiky fence

x

cireșe coapte -

o fâșâie de fustă

în gardul țepos

easel on field -

ink and dandelion milk

on fingertips

șevalet pe câmp -

lapte de păpădii și tuș

pe degete

evacuated school -

green frogs jumping

on a hopscotch

climbing roses -

my inner tower longs for
a window

x

trandafiri pe zid -

turnul meu interior

vrea o fereastră
