| Anny Ballardini – Someone else I woke up this morning and they had stolen my car my house my bed my eyes my mind my family my fate my job my friends left there on the scorching ground I went downtown and got a plastic heart a couple of colored marbles for my eyes green rubber gloves for hands a bouquet of narcissi for my hair – red and blue crisscrossed ribbons to let them know I was the queen & gathered my army shining in the foggy stench of the melting highway this till the end of the day without a bed I went to sleep & on the following morning I was someone else. | Gabriela Moldovan – Altcineva M-am trezit azi-dimineata si-am vazut ca mi-au furat masina casa patul ochii mintea familia soarta serviciul prietenii lasate acolo pe pamantul parjolit M-am dus in oras si mi-am luat o inima de plastic doua pietricele colorate in loc de ochi manusi verzi de cauciuc pentru maini un buchet de narcise in loc de par – panglici incrucisate rosu cu albastru sa se stie ca eram regina si mi-am adunat armata stralucitoare in duhoarea cetoasa a autostrazii topite asta am facut pana la sfarsitul zilei m-am dus la culcare fara sa am un pat iar a doua zi dimineata eram altcineva. |
