Encore

mown lawn
poem on wall
fresh air, smoke,
drink, space…
still…
stoned
drunk
better now…
curtain rises.

My dear friend John,

I send you as a small gift the Romanian version of "Encore".
Strangely this poem has something from Expressionism and
Symbolism of George Bacovia (1880-1957), an important Romanian poet.
This poem will be also included in CHM 4/July-August 2011.
All the best from your best friend from Bucharest,

Daniel D.

poem pe zid
aer proaspăt, fum...
băutură, spaţiu,
încă...
drogat
beat
mai bine acum...
se ridică cortina.
