The New Mornings
several times a week there are new morningsmornings that seem as good as any other
if they don’t quite reach a meter’s height
some educational cubes for children under one
coffee no longer fits in
tobacco no longer leaves the mouth and
our love sits close between us like a cow
shedding its hair
mara walks here
walks all sorts of small bodies
for whom the air is just a toy
to push quickly-quickly in the nose
these are new mornings
powdered milk rolls all over the length of them
a chicco sun ticks endlessy over their width
these are new mornings
a meter above them
our large bodies float already belly-up
noile dimineți
noile dimineți
de cîteva ori pe săptămînă sunt nişte dimineţi noidimineţi care seamănă bine de tot cu oricare altele
doar că nu depăşesc un metru înălţime
un fel de cuburi educative pentru copiii de pînă la un an
aici nu mai încape cafeaua
tutunul nu mai iese din gură iar
dragostea noastră stă ca o vacă-ntre noi
şi ne umple de păr
pe aici se plimbă mara
şi pe aici plimbă ea tot soiul de corpuleţe
pentru care aerul e doar o jucărie de băgat iute-iute în nas
acestea sunt dimineţile noi
şi de-a lungul lor se rostogoleşte laptele praf
şi de-a latul lor ticăie neîncetat soarele chicco
acestea sunt dimineţile noi
la un metru deasupra lor
trupurile noastre mari plutesc deja cu burţile-n sus
