Cenuşa visărilor noastre Se cerne grămezi peste noi, Precum se coboară pe glastre, Atinse, petalele-albastre, De-o gâză căzută de sus printre foi. Se scutură vântul şi geme. Pământul e una cu cerul, Oraşele-s bulgări şi gheme, Ghitare adânci de blesteme, Şi aerul - rece ca fierul. Pământul e-o moară deşartă Cu larve cerşind adăpost, Mişcându-se-npulberea moartă, Ce-n haos mereu se deşartă: Ţărâna visării ce-a fost.
