El, LABIȘ

Gheorghe Apetroae, Sibiu          

Era atunci, când  El, pe codrii arși ai Suhei, împărat,

vorbea cu fagii însetați, din uscăciunea frunzei…,
izvoarele naiadelor se prelingeau în adăpatul ciutei
și-o stea-n galop pe cer topit, de arma tatălui atinsă,

cădea pe ocoliș de munți în pajiştile dogorâte!..

De -atunci, se -ncing în luminări la creste, focuri -

sudori cu iz de vâsc şi mosc din maldăre de cetini

și ciute trec în cavalcade pe-alama feţelor agreste

la șuvoirea din izvoare, purtate în beții stelare –

amiezi caniculare, satanice în duh, în inelări barbare…

Copil, ochii-i scruta lazurul pietrei muntelui încinsă
din flișul ametist, din despicarea-n secetă a stâncii…

al Stânișoarei miez vulcanic reaprins în ochii astrei,
dansa cu el în apa Suhei și cu poienile, în arce,
prea temătorul sfinx căzut în cerul din fuiorul Parcei ..!

Îl văd ca și atunci, pe obârşie - nfrățit cu linxul,
cu brazii  retezați de vânt la „crucea” din răscruce
cu fagii groși, căzuți și de țapini conduși înspre uluce,
tot suferind de prăvălirea lor în irizări năluce,

spre poale ce se-ntorc în cer, la vânătoarea ciutei…!

E-n retrezire muntele și, din crestele lui, ruptă,

în văl de soare-ncins, în Labiș, duh, se reaprinde

o altă stea căzută în abis, cu chip de căprioară,

din apa limpede a Suhei, prea însetată bea, să piară   

de clonțul cel de fier al pasării cu aripi reci, atinsă…  

Pe-aceleași locuri dragi, la nou altar de cer îi cântă

codrii adânci cu vântul, pe lunci de fluturi înroite…

tu, mergi la locul sfânt, al lui, ca să-l urmezi sălbatic

la auz de clopote cu limbi însângerate-de furtuni purtate,

jelind la inima din ne-nceput a ciutei, sub Talionul Crucii,

de-al pasării cu clonț de fier ucisă: un zbor fatal

al glonțului din pușcă…!
