SEMNUL \/ THE SIGN<\/p>\n

Exist\u0103 aici un fel de a fi minoritar
chiar \u015fi atunci
c\u00e2nd tr\u0103ie\u015fti \u00een cea mai neagr\u0103 majoritate.
Asta \u0163ine de felul \u00een care \u00een\u0163elegi
s\u0103-\u0163i petreci zilele mai ales \u00een tinere\u0163e,
c\u00e2nd stratul de minciun\u0103 pare mai sub\u0163ire.
Bun\u0103oar\u0103, po\u0163i \u00eencepe o nou\u0103 zi
prin intonarea u\u015foar\u0103 a Interna\u0163ionalei
sau a unui c\u00e2ntecel din copil\u0103ria ta s\u0103rac\u0103.
Totuna: nu o vei sf\u00e2r\u015fi niciodat\u0103
la o mas\u0103 decent\u0103
\u00een plin\u0103 perioad\u0103 de \u00eenfometare a poporului.
Asta poate p\u0103rea complicat pentru unii.
Dac\u0103 \u0163i se \u00eent\u00e2mpl\u0103 s\u0103 fii \u015fi poet
atunci lucrurile se simplific\u0103 uimitor.
Nici n-apuci bine s\u0103 te despar\u0163i
de bucuria poemului cald
c\u0103 el te \u015fi situeaz\u0103 \u00een afara realit\u0103\u0163ii
pe care at\u00e2t o iube\u015fti,
despre care scrii,
la vindecarea c\u0103reia vrei s\u0103 participi,
dar pe care n-o mai supor\u0163i
a\u015fa cum \u00ee\u0163i este b\u0103gat\u0103 zilnic pe g\u00e2t.
C\u00e2t despre mine,
reprezentant\u0103 a majorit\u0103\u0163ii
\u00een patria mea minoritar\u0103,
cu aceast\u0103 m\u00e2n\u0103 tremur\u0103toare
c\u00e2nd \u00eemi duc bucata de p\u00e2ine la gur\u0103,
nu am prea multe de spus.<\/p>\n

Acum la Frankfurt este iarn\u0103.
Iarn\u0103 este \u015fi aici.
\u00een Siberia este iarn\u0103.<\/p>\n

De acolo, de sus,
Rolf Bossert \u00eemi face semn s\u0103 nu tac,
s\u0103 continui
iar eu \u00eei r\u0103spund cu creierul meu l\u0103b\u0103r\u0163at
peste toate aceste trei lumi deodat\u0103.<\/p>\n

THE SIGN<\/p>\n


There’s a way of being a minority here
even when
when you live in the darkest majority.
It’s about how you understand
to spend your days, especially in your youth,
when the layer of lies seems thinner.
For example, you can start a new day
by lightly singing the Internationale
or a song from your poor childhood.
However: you’ll never end it
at a decent meal
in the midst of starvation of the people.
This may seem complicated to some.
If you happen to be a poet
then things are amazingly simplified.
No sooner have you parted
with the joy of the warm poem
than it also places you outside the reality
you love so much,
that you write about,
the healing you want to participate in,
but which you can no longer bear
as it is shoved down your throat every day.
As for me,
the representative of the majority
in my minority homeland,
with this trembling hand
when I put the piece of bread in my mouth,
I don’t have much to say.<\/p>\n

Now it’s winter in Frankfurt.
It’s winter here, too.
In Siberia it’s winter.<\/p>\n

From up there,
Rolf Bossert beckonst me not to shut up,
to continue
and I answer him with my brain strewn
over all three worlds at once.<\/p>\n
