morning yoga
even my little turtles
stretch their necks

lockdown
more space
for spring

a sparrow
on the willow branch -
month decreasing

cer înnorat –
cocoșul îngână
același cântec

cloudy sky -
the cock crows
the same song

Bonsai Journal, Issue 1

înspre amurg -
umbra pădurii
traversând râul

towards dusk -
the forest's shade
crossing the river

rafale de vânt -
umbra salcâmului
lovind fereastra

gusts of wind -
a shadow of acacia
hits the window

(tr. from Romanian)

ziua recoltei -
hambarul
plin cu speranțe

harvest day -
a barn
full of hope

(tr. from Romanian)

shadow of acacia stamping the road

climbing on the roof the lilac branches punching the moon

shadow of the fisherman
around the moon -
rocking the boat

Bonsai Journal, Issue 1

cold wind -
the old man wears
another coat

campfire -
fireflies charge
their batteries

pilgrimage -
on the dusty road
traces of heels

to leave
something behind
a snail's trail

autumn river
leaves don't cling
to the rocks

the fog digests itself

high noon the black dahlia leans toward the scissors

white wind new pet-name for a stranger

Tower of Babel quivering feather on her nipples

accepting the scissors -
the sigh of the red rose

twilight those words spoken by your hands

rustling in the grass...
a pigeon becomes
the night

moonlit pond...
a fisherman catching ripples
of her laughter

stillness...
a blackbird joins
the sparrows' chorus

new ghost in the graveyard autumn rain

my father's dreams withered grass

within a stone the river talks in its sleep

a book of rain...
my father, now
a brown butterfly

boiling peach jam…
my daughter paints
a sunset


gem de piersici fierbând…
fiica mea pictează
un apus de soare

romanian village –
linden moon accompanies
the wedding procession


sat românesc –
luna de tei însoţind
alaiul de nuntă

birthday alone…
even linden blossoms
two by two


singur de aniversare…
până şi florile de tei
două câte două

silver wedding…
the fragrance
of the ripe fruits

nunta de argint…
parfumul
fructelor coapte

vineyard wedding -
the moon turns
into chardonnay
