on the third . . .

on the third stroke it will be uncertain

my dreams meet me half-way stunned and incomplete

you repeated something and then I walked forward

the lines meet in the distance touching someone's life

there is a place I cannot reach where the others are

this is my life here, like a stretch of water
the poem is made of sleep

speech slowed down to the nth degree

the storm in my head will not reach its point

la a treia...

la a treia bataie
va ramane in umbra incertitudinii
imi intalnesc visele la jumatatea drumului

intr-o problema de viitor
ziua e aura ei

uneori libertatea

si uneori nu e
lumina interioara
e si ea un semn
de pace intre oameni
in mijlocul stancilor

care iti fac semn
