un copil blond

un enfant blond
siffle avec une feuille -
l'été commence

un copil blond

fluieră din frunză - 

începe vara 

a blonde child
whistles with a leaf -
summer begins

sprouting potatoes -- cartofi încolţind

sprouting potatoes
once I believed
in second chances

cartofi încolţind ...

cândva am crezut

în a doua şansă

(Crysathemum, 17)

5 haiku

coming back home
same houseleek
over the porch

funeral wake 

the widow slowly cleans up 

the ashtray

marble angel
tonight a morning glory
closes at his feet

storm clouds

two white doves landing 

close to each other

New Year's Eve
another short circuit
in my living room

5 haiku -1

all that's left
in his pocket chess set
an unfinished game

growing old

I forgot how to write

upper-case zeds

first date

pink bubblegum

stuck to her high heels

rolled-up carpets
counting the days
since I had a guest

unfinished poem

the shadow of a peppered moth

on my ceiling

secetă -- drought

summer drought
the scarecrow's arm
points to the sun

secetă vara

braţul sperietorii

ţintă spre soare

A few haiku

harvest moon
the old man changes the bait
in the mousetrap

catching cold 

the eucalyptus candy 

in my notebook 

the postman
comes at some time sharp --
happiness

looking out of place 

grandma's big umbrella 

after the funeral 

my road back home
widening
where a creek used to flow

paperback dictionary 

broken in two 

"love" is in the air 

forbidden
the apple-shaped candle
we never lit

middle age 

half of me forgets 

half of me forgives
