SOME MOLECULES BROKEN FROM WHAT I ALWAYS FELT 

By Delia Motoc 

 

Eclipse... 

the moment when the physics of the future 

helps me to see my past, to feel my present, 

I, a mortal child of the Moon, 

met my father Sun, 

beyond of space and time, 

tasting the deceptive immortality. 

 

1999 - ADVENTURES IN BUCHAREST ON THE DAY OF THE ECLIPSE 

By Ion(ut) Moraru 

 

The American eclipse of 2024 reminded me 

that in 1999 I ran all over my city, 

at our last total solar eclipse. 

I was happy when I saw people crouched in waiting, 

how they put their special glasses on their noses, 

next to the fountain at the University. 

When the moment arrived, 

I quickly climbed the stairs of the block, 

I used the keys from the terrace for the first time in my life, 

and I sat back, to see the light that was left. 

Suddenly it got cold and I got a little shiver. 

Just as the Full Moon sometimes looks large among the houses, 

on the contrary, Selene and Helios were now two dwarfs 

at the top of the sky - a kind of Pantocrator. 

The shadow was around me, yellow further, 

hundreds of meters, circular 

and there was Light, again, as in the Old Testament, 

after the World stopped for a moment, the human hum returned. 

 

TOTAL ECLIPSE OF THE SUN 2024 

By Raluca Mircea 

 

I catch the Moon and say: lift me up! 

I grab the Sun and say: untie me! 

An endless string of stars. 

But isn't the soul also a star? 

It shines when you pick it up 

and goes down in pain! 

 

ECLIPSE 

By Marina Costa 

 

Suddenly, in the middle of the day, 

the Sun went out like a candle that 

first blinks, then fades... and that's it... 

 

Night suddenly falls on the city. 

Time seems to stand still, with bated breath, 

waiting for the fulfillment of the old prophecies. 

The sun turned into a ring. 

For whose engagement? 

The darkness envelops me 

and it's as if I want to shout out 

my loneliness and the world in which 

the values have been overturned. 

What good? 

On the ring of the Sun, 

the victory of light shines like a diamond. 

The day is in a hurry to regain its rights. 

Life returns to normal. 

However, in a lonely heart, 

the eclipse did not end. 

As in the legends, 

the dragon must be killed by a prince. 

 

ASTROPOETIC EXTRACTS IN A UNIVERSE WITH ECLIPSES 

By Mircea Boboc 

 

…The man of science steals the cream from protruding forms 

without dreaming that there is a hoard of flavors behind, 

because Light leaves traces through multiple dimensions 

and you don't see this crack towards a world of wonders... 

 

…But the Universe itself in its palm holds you; 

it quenches your thirst and all that is desire, 

you find yourself in All, and All is in you, 

in infinite space you will be a new being... 

 

…Light your way to celestial realms 

and games of light that envelop systems - 

planets caught in a chain, the ornament of a sun, 

all unknown... a long line of dilemmas... 

 

…But you will know that each one is fine. 

Courage! And the stars in you will shine! 

 

AT THE TOTAL ECLIPSE OF THE SUN IN 2024 

By Andrei Dorian Gheorghe 

 

The shadow cone of the Moon 

had turned into a cone of joy. 

 

- I don't see anything in this sense, 

although I am quite close! - 

Venus told me, stirring in the sky 

during the day at high noon 

(I could see her shining proudly 

near the eclipsed Sun). 

 

- Me neither, but I'm a bit further! - 

said Jupiter in similar conditions. 

 

- Children - I consoled the two planets -, 

I know you would like to play 

a Baily's bead or a diamond ring, 

but believe me, your beauty 

is undeniable anyway! 

 

ECLIPSE 2024 

By Romica Bibilic 

 

Eclipse of the sun, 

darkness in the void 

when not even a big ray can be seen, 

and the human mind is trapped 

and doubts what it believes.

 

AMERICAN ECLIPSE 2024 

By Alec Bartos 

 

I calmed down with the Perseids, 

the Orionids are really good, 

I was hoping there would be something 

about the eclipses. 

They are rare and some run after them. 

They come, stay for a while and leave. 

 

But you stay, you fool.... 

And the Earth is not the payment. 

I have no money for this expedition, 

I owe. Like a girl. 

Why are eclipses women? 

Is astronomy also feminine? 

 

Please don't ask me, 

Asteroids are enough for everyone, 

Name them and have yours like your skin, 

Leave me a bit of a star too. 

The woman will know. 

It's me and she doesn't say yes. 

America, America…!
