by Emil Botta (1911 - 1977)

Portret
Language: Romanian (Română) 
Ridică-te din jilț, tată,
o, ce mare te-ai făcut,
ți-a crescut barba imensă,
de nu-mi spuneai Emil, nu te-aș fi cunoscut.

Și mâinile tale sunt pline de pământ, de ceață..
Cum ai ajuns aici dintr-o noapte fără hotare?
N-ai găsit pe acolo un ac și un fir de ață
https://www.versuri.ro/w/q80e
ca să-ți coși haina și desfundatele buzunare?.

Subterani, de ce i-ați ros ghetele?
De ce i-ai spart sticla ochelarilor, tu argilă?
Noapte, de ce i-ai topit pe buze
veninoasa pastilă?
