DE CUSUT casa lui andrei by paul tanicui
mi-am cumparat de toti banii ace de cusut inima de piept privirea de fereastra gandurile de cap cuvintele de hartie visele de noapte tristetea intr-un degetar ca un cantec de suflet
mi-am cumparat de toti banii ace de cusut ce spun de ce scriu limba romana de limba mea casa de caramida caramida de pamant un munte de sare legat cu golul de plin si plinul de sus ca burta de buric.
mi-am mai cumparat si-o carte cu paginile lipite in acelasi timp la aceeasi ora de o duzina de ochi de taina. Sunt asa de mandru c-as putea s-o cos si pe ea de pielea mea.
TO SEW andrei’s house by paul tanicui in english by andrei codrescu
i spent all my money on sewing needles to sew my heart in my chest my stare to my window my thoughts in my head my dreams to the night my sadness in a thimble like a soulful song
i spent all my money on sewing needles to sew what I say to what I write the romanian tongue to my own my house to the brick the brick to the earth to join a hollow salt mountain to fulness and the fullness with the above like my belly to its bellybutton. i also bought a book with pages glued shut at the same time at the same moment with a dozen eyes of mystery. I’m so proud I could sew this to my skin too. |
