***
delta dawn -
a smoky sky colors
the seaweed smell

zori in delta -
cerul fumuriu coloreaza
mirosul de alge

***
quiet oars
up the unwary river
in the twilight

vasle tacute
in sus pe raul increzator
in amurg

***
crossing the night sky -
oars dipped in the glassy sea
scoop the moon

traversand cerul noptii -
vaslele scot luna
din marea lina

***
skinny dip -
a touch of starlight
all she wears

inoata goala -
tot ce poarta
e lumina stelelor

***
ocean's distant roar
tours into the hollow
of the conch shell

vuietul departat
al oceanului curge
in golul scoicii

***
toward sundown
the black sea rocks
speak first of the night

in amurg
stancile negre din mare
vorbesc primele despre noapte

***
plip-plop of rain -
little peepholes opening
in crusty sand

ropotul ploii -
mici gauri deschise
in nisipul aspru

***
tongue of a wave
flicks at the butterfly
no longer there

limba unui val
loveste spre fluturele
candva acolo

***
I am something
drifting at the sea's edge
grazed by sand

eu sunt un punct
la marginea marii
atins usor de nisip

***
wake of the storm -
broken wingsinseparable
from the sand

izbucnirea furtunii -
aripi rupte, nedespartite
de nisip

***
moonless night -
the autumn sea just a sound
here at my window

noapte fara luna -
toamna, marea-i doar un sunet
la fereastra
