On brevity

Pasărea cu clonţ de rubin
S-a răzbunat, iat-o, s-a răzbunat.
Nu mai pot s-o mângâi.

M-a strivit,
Pasărea cu clonţ de rubin,
Iar mâine
Puii păsării cu clonţ de rubin,
Ciugulind prin ţărână,
Vor găsi poate
Urmele poetului Nicolae Labiş
Care va rămâne o amintire frumoasă…

(Quixotically attributed to Nicolae Labiş,
although most likely written by Aurel Covaci)

    Vine fără s-o chemi, i-auzi bate-n geam.
    Intră fără să-i ceri, mândră şi de neam.
    Vede prin carnea ta ca printr-un geam.
    Albă Calandrinon, cu ochi de mărgean.
