contemplation at dawn
I only saw your breasts
asleep
aromatic
asymmetric
I sniffed around
and I forgot
to remember myself
(contemplation at dawn )
îți vedeam numai sînii
adormiți
aromați

amușinam
și uitam
mă uitam
(o contemplare în zori)

That drinking glass
that dreadfully clean glass
where water is feeling dirty
every time I don't sleep
I think of you
and when the sleeplessness starts
that glass awaits me
thirsty
sitting pretty

This town is too small
it strangles my walking
it keeps me talking
