by Kinga Fabó
Ripens sweet fragrance,
makes its fruits grow and gain weight -
as the Moon’s mask grows.
I’m forced on the shore
by brackets of holidays:
the world in-between.
Moon’s rising upwards,
I can’t follow it that high:
drags its solitude.
Neither swaggering,
nor in all submissiveness,
though it’s uncommon.
It’s throwing fake pearls
- just a fountain not a spring -
tears being stamped out.
(Translated by N. Ullrich Katalin)
