Crossfire

It hasn’t moved for months.
It knows its place – on top of the dresser
facing the door.

Arum Lily
the Afrikaans have a name for you:

Varkblom
Pig’s Ear

no wonder you poke out
your yellow tongue.

Calla Lily
one day you will be caught
in our crossfire.

Someone will wrench you
from your terracotta pot
and hurl you to the floor.

Names will fly.
Fists flail.

My Little White Hood

I will remember you
mute and beautiful –
bite my tongue.

Liliana Stefan

Schimb de focuri

Nu s-a miscat de luni de zile.
Isi stie locul – deasupra
dulapului
cu fata spre usa.

Rodul pamantului
olandeza vorbita in Africa de Sud te numeste:

Varkblom
Urechea porcului

nu-i de mirare ca-ti scoti
limba galbena.

Cala
intr-o zi vei fi prinsa
in schimbul nostru de focuri.

Vei fi smulsa
din ghiveciul tau de teracota
si aruncata pe podea.

Nume vor zbura.
Pumni vor lovi.

Mica mea gluga alba

Imi voi aminti de tine
tacuta si frumoasa –
imi musc limba.
