feţele tale / your faces

POSTED IN Mariana Codrut February 16, 2022

feţele tale / your faces

mereu mi-au ascuns lumina din geamuri
( : moartea prin zid întindea veşnic tinere ramuri).
boleam de viaţa din mine fără măsură,
c-o creangă trecîndu-mi prin tîmpla scobită şi pură.
trimise prin tine scrisorile mele în cer n-au ajuns –
sigiliu de plumb sînt feţele tale, pe ele depus.

(Ultima patrie, 2007)

……………….

your faces

the light from my windows they’ve always concealed
(: ever young branches, through the wall, death revealed).
sick with the life inside me with no measure
with a branch passing through my temple, hollow and pure.
my letters sent through you did not reach the sky –
lead seal are your faces on them dry.

(Last Homeland, 2007)
