Valentines is a tradition dating back to the late 1300s in Europe, where the first day of spring was associated with the middle of February when songbirds returned to choose new mates. Spring began 10 days ago in Japan, prompting Vasile Moldovan to contrast Japanese and European seasonal markers. Both cultures have traditionally relied on the sun to mark a change in season.

cats in love--
really, did they learn about
Saint Valentine’s Day?

Vasile Moldovan

pisici în călduri-

oare au aflat și ele

de Sfântul Valentin?

 FROM THE NOTEBOOK

1. Counting each tree, while he followed tracks in Romania, Vasile Moldovan soon realized how a whole forest had been cut down.




forest of fir --
a Christmas tree
in each home



Pădure de brad-

în fiecare casă

un pom de Crăciun

* * *
after the holiday
reindeer footprints
through fresh snow

După sărbători

prin zăpada proaspătă

urmele de ren

Traducerea autorului, Vasile Moldovan

2. Reka Nyitrai wrote this one-liner about something good to eat for a pig in the forests of Bucharest, Romania: 

 into a wild boar’s dream thud of an acorn.

în visul unui mistreţ bufnitura unei ghinzi ( tr. VasileMoldovan)

alluviums

embrace the banks
of the river –
don’t promise me the ocean
take me to a dew drop
