Surrogate of the rain
[translation by Stella Davis & Mădălina Moţ of Surogat de ploaie]
no one is interested in politics anymore
the poem about it burnt in ‘89
so no, another theme
everybody writes about them, about love stories and affections,
dreaming and afterwards crying and cursing
and almost everyone gives up
nature has been praised and described in rhymes
to which no one can add anything
without happening on some classic
there are a lot of things which have to be made, we all know this
a lot have been told in cut phrases
and sold as poems
but I haven’t read one about the door which keeps me away
from the world, no one knows that without it anyone could see
if I tried to open it
