NU SPUNE DON'T SPEAK
Flavia Cosma tr. the poet with Don Wilson


Nu spune, nu spune,
Nu spune lucrurilor
....................pe numele lor vechi,
Ele încep acum
....................altă călătorie,
In sita prin care stele
....................se varsă peste noi,
Sfâşiindu-ne carapacele,
Despletind obiceiuri,
Impodobindu-ne cu aripi de îngeri.


Don't speak, don't speak,
Don't speak of things
....................by their timeworn names:
Now they undertake
....................another journey,
Within the sieve through which
....................the stars shower down on us,
Lacerating our shells,
Undoing our ways,
Gracing us with angels' wings.
