Lucian Blaga, Romanian poet of light - died this day in 1961, aged 61, from cancer…
A Shiver
Is that death standing at my headboard?
At midnight,
when the moon pours her wild gazes over me
when a flight of bats
kiss the forehead of my dark window pane
I often feel a shiver
from my head down to my toes,
as if two cold hands
run their icy fingers through my hair
Is that death standing at my headboard?
And has he come to count,
under the light of the moon, my white hairs?
