ALERGAI PESTE SĂRUTUL APEI
Alergai peste sărutul apei
ca o pasăre peste valuri,
aripi la umeri şi glezne,
la încheieturi de taină flori limpezi.
De aerul veşmintelor tale m-am prins,
uşor ca un abur. Trupul meu
transparent de dor.
O, cum ne înghiţea adîncul înalt.
Prinde-mă, spuneai, prinde-mi sufletul,
respiră-mă, spuneai, respiră-mi tăcerile,
intră în mine ca într-o catedrală de aer,
preot al ascunselor semne.
Alergai, zburai - cerul
ardea cu patimă - şi eu în preajma ta
eram de flacără, iar dedesubt
marile cîmpii elysee...
YOU WERE RUNNING OVER THE WATER KISS
You were running over the water kiss,
like a bird over the waves,
wings at the shoulders and ankles,
at the joints of mystery clear flowers.
Of the air of your clothes I caught,
light like a vapour. My body
trasparent with desire.
Oh, how the high deep sollowed us.
Catch me, you said, catch my soul,
breathe me, you said, breathe my silences,
enter into me like in a cathedral of air,
priest of the hidden signs.
You were running, flying - the sky
was burning with passion - around you
I was a flame, and below
the great plains Elysee...
