I Saw You Last Week

With no particular feeling in mind
She lay her books down
With weary hands
In timeless circumstances

And she whispered to eternity -
Sister, do not worry
The night is long but all I need
Is another cup of coffee

And graced upon herself
She effortlessly became light
For all of us to see
In the midst of darkness

Admired

Deep down inside
I want to be admired
I work hard
With subterfuges
To be likable

But when that happens
I feel empty inside
It makes me sick
And I reject every kind thought
Ever directed at me

I got what I wanted

It's my natural self
I'm even doing it
As you read this

Sibiu, ca intotdeauna

Ne revedem in curand...

Tonight

I would take walks
In places in my bedroom
I've never seen before
Light a candle
For the mosquitos
And the Zen master

I would pack my clothes
In even sizes and packages
In well segregated shelves
Just after I had dusted them off

I would take the leaf
I had pressed years ago
In my astronomy handbook
And blow it outside
Away from the gift it never was

I would write this with black ink
Or white ink
But something tells me
It wouldn't matter anyway

I miss you and I like it

Barcelona

Imi aduc aminte cum, la Barcelona, din douazeci de zile, doua nu ai putut sa stai cu mine, trei ai fost bolnava, si patru ai fost la ciclu.

Si nu pot sa uit cum am carat impreuna geamantanele, cum ti-am adus in pat bucatele de paine prajita cu Camembert sau cum au fost primele zile dupa ciclu.

Mai tin minte mirosul din holul cladirii, pana de curent, cum canta cineva in apartamentul de sub noi la un instrument pe care nu pot sa-l identific nici acum.

A trecut mult timp de atunci, iar eu acum privesc lumea din afara, cautand toate acele lucruri in diminetile limpezi si noaptea tarziu, cand se trezesc florile de regina noptii.
