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

ma intalnesc cu visele la jumatatea drumului
inmarmurite si oloage

ai repetat ceva

uneori libertate

alteori nu
lumina interioara
e si ea semn
de pace intre oameni
printre pietrele

ce te ademenesc

precum desenul unui copil
viata nu-i o loterie
viata nu e tragedie
viata nu-i de fapt nimic
