Adieu! In Bucharest

for a while we were so close
that I remembered episodes from your childhood
and I dreamt your dreams
and when you ate your rainbow at the lacto bar close to Scala
I was swapping faces - faces…
for a while we were so happy together
that at university we would sit at the same desk
and the foundation on your forehead seemed more important for humanity
than the great geographical discoveries
and we would pass dissolving in the colour of colour T.Vs of the umbrella
the shops with frappes, chemises and medicines in the underpass
your one hundred and fifty four centimetres
would sweep the asphalt ahead of us
and would  cut through with the torches the darkness of the boulevard
right next to The Very Small Theatre
and would bring other voices to your memory, other rooms

but it is over, it’s over! From now on, with which lover
are you entwining yourself under the stars, under the diamond boulders?
from now on the patina of time almost swerved 
on the skating rink of your burnished hair 
adieu
adieu
Adieu
good bye, love, this autumn!
from now our love cracks the asphalt for the sewage works
to offer us a decent existence.
I would also like to tell you
that last night, of loneliness
the Romarta toyshop collapsed.
