respect and love, the starlight
kneels at your feet

-THREE ASTROPOPES BY ALEX VIZITIU
.
IMMENSITY
.
Over things known
and unknown
the Universe stretches.
Like a candle
I measure its size.
.
SHOW ME THE WAY
.
Show me the way to the next nova
Through the silent meaning of abyssal voids
Where the end sings mercilessly
And time flees into ancestral stars.
.
To burn for a moment like a lightning bolt,
Carried by waves of stardust,
To fall, to melt and then to be promised
To a sparkle that trembles in shadows.
.
To be a dust, a wind, a longing among the sparks
And to be reborn in exploded hearts,
To be an echo of fires and ideas
In the roar born from forgotten worlds,
.
In the long, cold and undulating night
Show me the way to the next nova.
.
SOLAR ECLIPSE
.
Eclipse in silence.
The Sun, in contemplation,
tastes betrayal.
