| 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. | Gianina Casleanu – Altcineva Cand m-am trezit azi-dimineata imi furasera masina casa si patul ochii si mintea familia si soarta slujba prietenii si ma abandonara pe podeaua dogorinda Mi-am cumparat o inima de plastic, margele colorate-n loc de ochi manusi verzi din cauciuc narcise-n par si panglici – rosii si albastre-ncrucisate ca sa se stie ca eu am fost regina si mi-am adunat armata ce straluceste peste mirosul greu de pe autostrada-ncinsa si-nvaluita-n ceata pana la asfintit M-am dus la culcare fara sa am un pat Si-a doua dimineata. m-am trezit altcineva. |
