Ispăşirea

               lui Neculai Enache

Cu privirea

înălţată spre ceruri

măturând picăturile de ploaie,

se pierdea în zare

cu limba ce-i atârna peste buze

pândindu-şi conştiinţa.

Îşi simţea capul

golit de orice gând:

Durerea este o ispăşire…

The expiation

                        To Neculai Enache

With his look

lifted into the sky

sweeping the raindrops,

he lost himself at the skyline

with his tongue hanging over the lips

while lying in wait for his consciousness.

Was feeling his mind

emptied by any thought:

The pain is expiation…
