M\u0103garul bunic\u0103-mii avea un nume<\/p>\n

de care nu-mi mai amintesc. Nu conteaz\u0103,<\/p>\n

pentru c\u0103 m\u0103garul, animal de povar\u0103<\/p>\n

ca bunic\u0103-mea, a murit deja.<\/p>\n

Iar eu sunt \u00eentr-un alt loc.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Poate c\u0103 m\u0103garul era un cal, un simbol<\/p>\n

sau un b\u0103rbat, \u00eensurat cu bunic\u0103-mea.<\/p>\n

Poate \u00eenc\u0103 mai tr\u0103ie\u015fte purt\u00e2ndu-mi numele.<\/p>\n

Dar dac\u0103, s\u0103 zicem, n-ar fi existat nici m\u0103gar,<\/p>\n

Gr\u0103dina de trandafiri este acum \u00een ad\u00e2ncul m\u0103rii<\/p>\n

Iar b\u0103iatul traseaz\u0103 o linie, apoi alta<\/p>\n

Acolo, \u00een strad\u0103, i-a umezit-o ca \u015fi cum ar fi fost a ei,<\/p>\n

Fiindc\u0103 el se g\u00e2ndise la ea \u015fi deja o gustase<\/p>\n

Apropiindu-se de etajul patru, cu stegule\u0163ul<\/p>\n

Rani\u0163a din spate alunec\u0103, se las\u0103<\/p>\n
