A SPECIAL CELEBRATION
(To Karl Anton Dozer)
By Andrei Dorian Gheorghe
.
.
Shortly after the Full Moon
in October 2024,
I celebrated 45 years
of high school graduation
with some former classmates -
we had been a national sports class
of swimmers.
.
In those moments, we all knew that
the powers of our bodies
had become irreversibly waning,
but the joy of seeing each other
was so great
that it produced laughter
as loud as space missions
that swam to the Moon -
a heavenly body that in turn had become,
but only for a short time,
waning.
