OSUAR DE FAMILIE

Puţin cîte puţin
murim
mîncînd pîine caldă,
bînd apă rece.

Mult, mult mai mult
rămînem în urmă,

de după umbra noastră,
de după paşii noştri.

Puţin cîte puţin
devenim
reci ca focul,
fierbinţi ca bulgărele de zăpadă.

Mult, mult mai mult
tăcem
economisindu-ne sîngele
cheltuindu-ne oasele.

Puţin cîte puţin
mult, mult mai mult.


FAMILY OSSUARY

Little by little
we are dying
eating hot bread,
drinking cold water.

Much, much more
we lag behind

after our shadow,
after our footsteps.

Little by little
we become
cold as fire,
hot as snow.

Much, much more
we are silent
saving our blood,
spending our bones.

Little by little
much, much more.
