… tocind

Învăluit în umbră

cu mâinile proptite

pe genunchii

picioarelor goale

ce loveau cu putere

pământul,

cu gura larg deschisă,

scotea un sunet strident

răscolind,

răsturnând,

zdrobind,

doborând

notele ascuţite

ale cuvintelor…

Se năpusteau una peste alta.

…blunting

Wrapped in the shadow

with his hands left

on the knees

of the bared feet

which were powerfully hitting

the ground,

with wide open mouth,

was shrieking out a strident sound

stirring up,

overturning

crashing,

knocking down

the high-pitched tones

of the words…

They were swooping upon each other.
