Spring is like a perhaps hand / Primavara este precum o mana poate

Spring is like a perhaps hand
(which comes carefully
out of Nowhere)arranging
a window,into which people look (while
people stare
arranging and changing placing
carefully there a strange
thing and a known thing here) and

changing everything carefully

spring is like a perhaps
Hand in a window
(carefully to
and fro moving New and
Old things,while
people stare carefully
moving a perhaps
fraction of flower here placing
an inch of air there)and

without breaking anything.
e.e.cummings

Primavara este precum o mana

Primavara este precum o mana poate
(care vine cu grija
deodata) aranjand
a window,into which people look(while
o fereastra, prin care oamenii privesc (in timp ce
oamenii privesc fix
aranjand si schimband asezand
cu grija ici un lucru ciudat
dincoace un lucru stiut) si
schimband totul cu grija
primavara este precum o poate
mana in fereastra
( grijulie incoace
si incolo miscand lucruri Noi si
Vechi, in timp ce
oamenii privesc fix cu grija
mutand o poate
fractiune de floare ici asezand
o frantura de aer dincolo) si
fara sa sparga nimic.

Maria Magdalena
