ALTE EICHE VOR COLDITZ / OLD OAK TREE FROM COLDITZ / STEJAR BATRAN DIN COLDITZ

Ausgehöhlt, splittrig die Ränder
der Buchtung,
wartend stand sie, dass Zeit käme,
Zeit verflöge,
als rings die Wetter sich brachen.
Einsinken, Aufgehn im Moorgrund
erhoffend, nach
den Schösslingen, die
längst schon in frischem
Blattkleid ergrünten.

…………..

OLD OAK TREE FROM COLDITZ

Hollowed, splintery, the edges
of the bay,
waiting for time to come,
time to fly by
as the weather broke all around.
Sinking, rising in the moorland
hoping for
the saplings that
have long since
turned green
with their fresh leaves.

…………..

STEJAR BATRAN DIN COLDITZ

Scobite, ascutite, marginile
golfului,
aşteptând să vină timpul
sa treaca timpul
pe cand vremea s-a stricat peste tot.
Se scufunda, se ridica în pamantul mlaștinos,
sperand in
lastarii care
inverzisera de mult
in frunzele lor proaspete.
