“To all the writers who torment their characters the way God torments the poor and sick.”
Mr. W, The Craziest Book Ever Written

Mihai Cotea
“explodează în mine avântule
odată iubire haină
croială neterminată de-mi vrei supliciul ți-oi da otrava
de-ți dau deliciul să-mi iei
epava pe pieptul țărânii-ntr-o iarnă fatală
să te știe doar câinii plagă
capitală răsare pe mare o floare albastră
Eminescu a râs de patima noastră cu lacrimi apuse
îmi iartă un gând (te văd fără chip)
doar c-un gust de vânt cu ochii-n soare mă cauți flămând
nu cred că învingi
m-am visat râzând
duel”
Mihai Cotea, Fosfene dintr-o altă viață
