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

PETER ACKROYD

la a treia...

la a treia bataie
nu voi mai sti cat e ceasul

ma intalnesc cu visul
uimit si neimplinit

ai repetat ceva
apoi am trecut mai departe

drumurile ni se intalnesc in zare
rascolind viata altcuiva

intr-un loc unde nu pot ajunge
unde sunt ceilalti

asta este viata mea,
ca o intindere de apa

white, light blue and grey
with the signs for
orange and aquamarine

rising with it
like Star Wars music
into a future problem

the day is its halo sometimes freedom and sometimes it is not

the inner light
is also a sign
of peace among men

in the middle of stones which beckon to you like a child's drawing

life isn't a gamble
life isn't tragedy
life isn't really anything

de dincolo...

alb, azuriu, cenusiu
cu urme de
portocaliu si acvamarin

inaltandu-se impreuna
ca muzica din Razboiul stelelor
spre o problema a viitorului

al carei nimb e ziua de azi:
uneori ai libertate
alteori n-ai deloc

lumina interioara
este si ea un semn
de pace intre oameni

printre pietre aruncate
ce-ti fac semne
ca desenul unui copil

viata nu-i un pariu
viata nu-i o tragedie
viata nu-i mai nimic
