Bathing in the Olt
5.
Near the bank the river was quiet
neither love nor life in the old, white house in Milcoveni
*
no direct path so they had to make a detour to reach the water
no inkling that anything was amiss
no trace of Benedict
not at all hard to convince. And he surrendered
not taken in by his gesture; it merely fuelled her suspicions
*
nothing seemed to threaten their happiness
now they had lost almost everything
*
on the opposite bank something strange was happening
one solitary gesture: one of renunciation
perfectly covering her body it emphasized her beautiful figure
pretending fatigue and weakness
quickly went under without trace
