Linked Verse

In the park

a child

he sticks his lips together

of cotton candy

above the anthill

chesnut's tree shadow

saxophonist's song

leaves a scent

of ripe pears

hair down

of girls in bloom

hot asphalt

indigo drops

of the artesian well

an ant colony

it stuck

on cotton candy

Mircea Moldovan & Daniel Gelu

1

întunecare -
mă închid în casă
cu un licurici

dim darkness -
I lock myself in the house
with a firefly

2

prea multe umbre…
până și moartea
face ochii mari

too many shadows …

even death, wide-eyed
with wonder

3

marea plecare –
scot gardul să fac loc
mărăcinilor

great departure –

I take out the fence
to release thistles

4

ecou întrerupt –
poate, totuși, moartea
nu-i decât un truc

cut-off echo –
perhaps death is nothing
but a magic trick
