JOHN MOLE

The Cherry Tree

Welcome to the cherry,
So unequivocal,
So full
Of itself, so utterly

Not you, not me, with our same
Questions,
The old stones’
Word game

Of this year
Last year
Next year
Never…

Of Do you love me
As much as…?
Or Who was
He or she?

Or Do you love me less
Than I love you?
Or Tell me something new.
Haven’t I heard this?

Welcome to the cherry,
Its white silence,
Its common sense,
Its letting be.

Ciresul

Bine ati venit in fata ciresului,
Atat de neechivoc,
Atat de plin
De sine, atat de profund

Diferit de tine, de mine, cu aceleasi
Intrebari,
Acelasi joc de cuvinte
Cu piese vechi

De anul acesta
De anul trecut
De anul viitor
De niciodata…

Jocul de-a Ma iubesti
La fel de mult ca…?
Sau Cine era
El sau ea?

Sau Ma iubesti mai putin
Decat te iubesc eu?
Sau Zi-mi ceva nou.
N-am mai auzit asta?

Bine ati venit in fata ciresului,
Cu tacerea sa alba,
Bunul simt,
Toleranta sa.

Din volumul Depending on the Light, Peterloo Poets,1993
