Apus, by Mircea Alexandru Popa

Apus

by Mircea Alexandru Popa

In cotloanele intunericului
cineva a pregatit o capcana
sperantele oamenilor
abia mai palpaie
ca niste stele plapande
agatate intr-un insectar urias

de dincolo de vise
se ridica despicand intunericul

Pasarea Paradis

~ English translation from the Romanian by Andrei Dorian Gheorghe ~
