Prayer for Signs
Petre Anghel, translated by Daniel Ionita
Tell us, again, Sir,
That we are made of earth,
And this is not a curse,
The earth is a star
And we all shall be morning-stars.
Tell us once more
That you owned nothing of more value
Than the Son
And you let him become earth
Until you summoned him.
Tell us anew
That simple tale about the lifting of the eyelids
And the wedding with the heavenly light
In which Lazarus comes forth from the grotto
At your simple call.
I know, my Lord, that you have told us,
But we are made of earth,
And earth cannot hold water by swamping
And lets it flow
Until we reach the stars.
Give us another sign
That you have saved for us a name.
