Noah
Translated from Nichita Stanescu
A is a letter, I another letter
I play the fiddle like a fool
Dog is an animal, Grass a plant
From whence the mad in you takes a jump
The eye is a loss
The word a joke
Upon which, upon a plank
Of the hours, of the waves
Our lives, many
We save

Very Dog
translation from Nichita Stanescu
by Oana Camilleri
Very dog I wanted to be
Barking at the wrong tree
With the tooth that was alive
Dead to come upon thee
Very bird I wanted to lie
For a while upon your shield
Abandoned and begun
I was only hurt
Very human I might of been
If I'd known just how to be
What is made of bone in you
And what is red in pink
