Luna Asta / This Moon Poem by Magdalena Biela

Luna Asta / This Moon

plutind ca o raţă-nfoiată deasupra
(noi sîntem în adîncuri, dedesubt)
nu are nici o legătură cu singurătatea noastră,
cu fruntea pură a mamei din tinereţile ei
exterminate de istoria românească
ori cu ecranul luminos în care mă văd.
ea e din altă ţară.

MARIANA CODRUT

THIS MOON

floating above like a fluffy duck
(we are in deep, below)
it has nothing to do with our loneliness,
with the pure forehead of mother from her youth
exterminated by Romanian history
or with the bright screen in which I see myself
it's from another country.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
MARIANA CODRUT is a Romanian born writer, poet, journalist, whose artistic voice must be heard beyond Romanian borders. Her poetic phonaesthetics remind the reader of the fresh breath of the mountains in a language not known anymore: Romanian language.
MARIANA CODRUT may be the ultimate testament of a land and language damned to be lost in Oblivion. As long as she may be heard, there is a chance for Romanian Art and Poetry to become the Phoenix of Latin languages.
VIVAT! CRESCAT! FLOREAT!
