OPENNESS

Here we are, naked lovers,
beautiful to each other—and that’s enough.
The leaves of our eyelids our only covers,
we’re lying amidst deep night.

But they know about us, they know,
the four corners, and the chairs nearby us.
Discerning shadows also know,
and even the table keeps quiet.

Our teacups know full well
why the tea is getting cold.
And old Swift can surely tell
that his book’s been put on hold.

Even the birds are in the know:
I saw them writing in the sky
brazenly and openly
the very name I call you by.

The trees? Could you explain to me
their unrelenting whispering?
The wind may know, you say to me,
but how is just a mystery.

A moth surprised us through the blinds,
its wings in fuzzy flutter.
Its silent path—see how it winds
in a stubborn holding pattern.

Maybe it sees where our eyes fail
with an insect’s inborn sharpness.
I never sensed, nor could you tell
that our hearts were aglow in the darkness.

Netikėtas susitikimas

Esam be galo malonūs vieni kitiems,
tvirtinam, kaip gera susitikt po šitiek metų.

Mūsų tigrai laka pieną.
Mūsų vanagai vaikšto pėsti.
Mūsų rykliai skęsta vandenyje.
Mūsų vilkai žiovauja prie atverto narvo.

Mūsų gyvatės nusikratė žaibų,
beždžionės – įkvėpimų, povai – plunksnų.
Jau seniai šikšnosparniai išlėkė iš plaukų.

Nutylam vidury sakinio
beviltiškai šyptelėję.
Mūsų žmonės
nemoka susikalbėti.
