Celestial Archipelago
By Andrei Dorian Gheorghe
.
The void is an ocean -
I navigate through
the asteroid belt
like through a collection
of islands.
.
Polaris
By Constantin Kapitza
.
The Polar Star,
frozen light,
a flicker.
.
Space-Time Fantasy
By Danut Ionescu
.
I return to Space,
and Past Time
is Present Time.
Where am I now?
.
Childhood is the present,
my years are the past,
and I am back
in Present Space,
with Absent Time.
.
Meditation
By Valentin Grigore and Andrei Dorian Gheorghe
.
The day of the summer solstice
is, like any other day,
a victory of the Sun.
.
Yucatan
By Alec Bartos
.
The last time when
I was a meteorite,
I fell right into your yard!
.
I chased a few dinosaurs
out of your area…
but they weren't even big!
.
Visions
By Alex Vizitiu
.
The doctor keeps telling me
to wear glasses for my eyes,
but I don't listen to him…
I'll ask him if
I can wear telescopes...

Re-definition
By Andrei Dorian Gheorghe
.
We call galaxies,
star clusters and nebulae
as deep sky objects,
even though
star clusters and nebulae
are hosted by galaxies.
.
Maybe we should just leave
star clusters and nebulae
as deep sky objects
and rename galaxies as…
deep sky establishments!
