În ziua aceea lăsasem totul
ca să stau pe covor
-eu, geometria şi moliciunea,
plăcute jocuri, încă din copilărie.
Aranjând cu mare dichis piesele,
m-am trezit într-un ţipăt:
electricitatea dădea iama-n covor
-dansez pe sârmă, în jurul curentului.
On that day I let everything aside
to sit down on the carpet
-I, the geometry and the softness
-pleasant games, since I was a child.
And, while carefully arranging the pieces
I realized that I was screaming:
the electricity had inflamed the carpet
the electricity had inflamed the carpet
-I'm dancing on the wire around the current.

And now Michael's version, with many thanks for his care and for his efforts:
On Tiptoe
That day I put everything aside
to sit down on the carpet
-me, geometry, softness
-amusing games, from childhood.
But, while carefully arranging the pieces
I jolted awake with a scream:
the electricity had ignited the carpet
-I'm dancing on the wire, around the current.

the softness and the roundness
of electri(c)city
un-arranged
inside the tiny
partcles of cloth
there is the silence
of rememberance
A PLUS THEN A MINUS.
This is the way it happens then: first, you reach a relative calm; then, you achieve a second, finer balance; and finally, if only rarely, you attain a brief instant of absolute immobility.

from On the High Wire by Philippe Petit
Flipi,all your comments are a plus rather a minus:)And I think that the particles of cloth are arranged too,minus and plus,always following an asymptotic direction, and even in that rememberance of silence their intricate logic appears to us till our complete redemption
RăspundețiȘtergerePensum,thank you for visiting my blog,I'm really sorry that my English does not permit me to answer how I wish.There are not only awful mistakes in my discourse,but I can't express the connotationes that I want to.Anyway,I will do my best:)
RăspundețiȘtergereThank you also for these "flying" words.Probably the balances become more and more fine and we can be in the heart oh immobility,immobility itself.And I'm sure that feathers will be set ,beyond the apparent "violence".For example here,with us,there is no contradiction:)
