In fact, the charming galaxies
are the pockets
of the Universe

Constantin Kapitza is a renowned and admired poet in Romania, author of numerous poetry books and winner of several awards. This time, he adapted his creativity to the rigors of astropoetry, and I was happy to translate his following creations.

-THREE ASTROPOEMS BY CONSTANTIN KAPITZA
.
SLEEP AND INSOMNIA
.
If you walk on the road that forks,
on the right
is the star-bird Poetry
with feathers illuminated in verses,
on the left
is the star-bird Wait
and they all sit in the Sun
sleeping in the Milky Way,
for everything will be milk.
.
LIFE
.
It is the hour to drink from the rivers,
waters of life flowing,
in times spoken by tongues with vigor
and in signs,
evoked from testaments,
with minds illuminated by stars
in ancient perfumes from nebulae,
chases of experiences, alas,
the books came flowing
under bridges built by
the people of silence,
the thinkers of sleepless nights
reading the sky of milk and flowers.
Thus, the whole earth spread out,
filled with ornaments and chains,
things from always lived,
it is life.
.
SADNESS
.
We sit sad
and look at the stars
with Hawking far away…
what black hole is he living in?
Without earthly flavors
we look through the windows
of the Universe
and no one sees him,
although the stars do not close
their shutters.
