| 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. | Roxana Mindrican – Altcineva Cand m-am trezit in zori Nu mai aveam masina, Nici casa, pat sau ochi, Nici amintiri, camin, destin, Nici job si nici prieteni Singura pe un taram sterp Am fost in oras sa-mi iau o inima de plastic Lentile colorate pentru ochi Manusi verzi de cauciuc pentru maini, un buchet De narcise pentru par- panglici impletite Cu rosu si albastru, sa vada toti ca sunt regina Stralucitoare, mi-am adunat ostirea In duhoarea aburilor de pe autostrada Pana la apus Am adormit sub cerul liber Iar a doua zi Eram altcineva. |
