ANGI CRISTEA MELANIA

 

White Seconds

that winter the snow had covered the city

white stars were snowing green over the fir trees

my heart pulsed red like

the blood of horses killed in the snowdrifts

my love vapor had frozen

for fear of losing my soul multiplied

in seconds

as if the moon could slide

into the lake in a breath

and you would melt into the mane of time

so alive to nowhere

with hot palms I drank another portion

of loneliness

/round quince fragrant to the fullest/

I caressed the horseshoe of your words

and I drew syllables thirstily into my chest

remember the hours rolled in the snow

with lynx eyes and ever slower

that winter we loved each other in the snow

the flakes froze strangely on our cheeks

I taught you to keep your eyes open at every jingle of words

to bite from the world's warm snow

row by row
