even my little turtles
stretch their necks

lockdown
more space
for spring

a sparrow
on the willow branch -
month decreasing

the cock's song
in D minor

Caribbean Kukai, April 2020.

cer înnorat –
cocoșul îngână
același cântec

cloudy sky -
the cock crows
the same song

Bonsai Journal, Issue 1

înspre amurg -
umbra pădurii
traversând râul

towards dusk -
the forest's shade
crossing the river

rafale de vânt -
umbra salcâmului
lovind fereastra

gusts of wind -
a shadow of acacia
hits the window

(tr. from Romanian)

ziua recoltei -
hambarul
plin cu speranțe

harvest day -
a barn
full of hope

(tr. from Romanian)

shadow of acacia stamping the road

climbing on the roof the lilac branches punching the moon

shadow of the fisherman
around the moon -
rocking the boat

Bonsai Journal, Issue 1

cold wind -
the old man wears
another coat

campfire -
fireflies charge
their batteries

pilgrimage -
on the dusty road
traces of heels

rainy days –
among the corn husks
broken needles

to leave
something behind
a snail's trail

autumn river
leaves don't cling
to the rocks

the fog digests itself

high noon the black dahlia leans toward the scissors

white wind new pet-name for a stranger

Tower of Babel quivering feather on her nipples

accepting the scissors -
the sigh of the red rose

twilight those words spoken by your hands

rustling in the grass...
a pigeon becomes
the night

moonlit pond...
a fisherman catching ripples
of her laughter

stillness...
a blackbird joins
the sparrows' chorus

new ghost in the graveyard autumn rain

my father's dreams withered grass

within a stone the river talks in its sleep

a book of rain...
my father, now
a brown butterfly
