Black Butterfly
I refuse to think about peoplefor them, love is a black butterfly
that alights with widespread wings
on the brow of a paralysed gymnast
it stays there days on end
looking him tenderly in the eye
while it jabs its proboscis in the softest tissues
and enjoys itself like a child
it jabs in its proboscis and laughs
it jabs in its proboscis and laughs
under the dazzling sun.

Black butterfly
nu vreau să mă gândesc la oameniiubirea lor e un fluture negru
cu aripile întinse
care se aşază pe fruntea unui gimnast paralizat
stă zile întregi acolo
îl priveşte în ochi cu tandreţe
îşi înfige trompa în ţesuturile cele mai moi
se amuză ca un copil
îşi înfige trompa şi râde
îşi înfige trompa şi râde
în soarele năucitor.
