Cranes dance in the sky in the leafless thickets and the pitch-dark wind I pass under the world high a shadow among the words

Cranes dance in the sky
in the leafless thickets
and the pitch-dark wind
I pass under the world high
a shadow among the words

tanka by Paula Romanescu from The Little Orion (Micul Orion) (1996), translated by Dan Costinaş
