OUR MASTERPIECE IS THE PRIVATE LIFE \/ CAPODOPERA NOASTRA-I VIATA INTIMA<\/p>\n

I<\/p>\n

Is there something down by the water keeping itself from us,
\nSome shy event, some secret of the light that falls upon the deep,
\nSome source of sorrow that does not wish to be discovered yet?<\/p>\n

Why should we care? Doesn\u2019t desire cast its rainbows over the coarse porcelain
\nOf the world\u2019s skin and with its measures fill the air? Why look for more?<\/p>\n

II<\/p>\n

And now, while the advocates of awfulness and sorrow
\nPush their dripping barge up and down the beach, let\u2019s eat
\nOur brill, and sip this beautiful white Beaune.<\/p>\n

True, the light is artificial, and we are not well-dressed.
\nSo what. We like it here. We like the bullocks in the field next door,
\nWe like the sound of wind passing over grass. The way you speak,<\/p>\n

In that low voice, our late night disclosures . . . why live
\nFor anything else? Our masterpiece is the private life.<\/p>\n

III<\/p>\n

Standing on the quay between the Roving Swan and the Star Immaculate,
\nBreathing the night air as the moment of pleasure taken
\nIn pleasure vanishing seems to grow, its self-soiling<\/p>\n

Beauty, which can only be what it was, sustaining itself
\nA little longer in its going, I think of our own smooth passage
\nThrough the graded partitions, the crises that bleed,<\/p>\n

Into the ordinary, leaving us a little more tired each time,
\nA little more distant from the experiences, which, in the old days,
\nHeld us captive for hours. The drive along the winding road<\/p>\n

Back to the house, the sea pounding against the cliffs,
\nThe glass of whiskey on the table, the open book, the questions,
\nAll the day\u2019s rewards waiting at the doors of sleep . . .<\/p>\n

\nCapodopera noastra este viata intima
\nI<\/p>\n

Exista ceva in josul apei ce\u00a0 de noi\u00a0se\u00a0fereste,
\nvreo intamplare timida, vreun secret al luminii ce cade peste adanc,
\nvreun izvor al tristetii ce nu se vrea descoperit inca?<\/p>\n

De ce ne-ar pasa? Dorinta nu-si arunca curcubeiele peste portelanul brut
\nal pielii lumii si cu propriile-i masuri umple aerul? De ce-am cauta mai mult?<\/p>\n

II
\nSi-acum, pe cand adeptii groazei si durerii
\n‘S-imping salupa siroind in susul si-n josul plajei, hai sa mancam
\nCalcanul nostru, si sa luam o gura din frumosul Beaune alb.
\nAdevarat, lumina e artificiala, si nu suntem bine imbracati.
\nSi ce. Ne place aici. Ne plac boii de pe campul vecin,
\nNe place sunetul vantului peste iarba. Felul in care vorbesti,
\nCu vocea soapta, dezvaluirile noastre tarziu in noapte…de ce sa traiesti
\nPentru altceva? Capodopera noastra este viata intima.<\/p>\n

III
\nStand pe chei intre constelatii Lebada Calatoare si Steaua Imaculata,
\nRespirand aerul noptii in timp ce momentul placerii luate
\nIn placere disparand pare sa creasca, propria-i murdarita<\/p>\n

Frumusete, care poate fi ceea ce-a fost, doar sustinandu-se
\nPutin mai mult in plecarea-i, ma gandesc la propria noatra trecere calma
\nPrin despartirile treptate, crizele ce sangereaza,<\/p>\n

In cotidian, lasandu-ne putin mai obositi de fiece data,
\nPutin mai distanti de experientele, care, in zilele de-odinioara,
\nNe tineau captivi ore intregi. Calatoria de-a lungul unui drum serpuit<\/p>\n

Inapoi spre casa, marea lovindu-se de stanci,
\nPaharul cu whiskey pe masa, cartea deschisa, intrebarile,
\nToata rasplata zilei astepand la usile somnului…<\/p>\n
