-THREE ASTROPOEMS BY ION(UT) MORARU
(English version by ADG)
.
LYMAN-ALPHA RADIATION, THE FIRST LIGHT
.
My head is lost in the grass
just like that star at midnight,
three hundred million years
after the Big Bang
when the photons, released, began
to fly cheerfully towards us.
.
A MONSTER IN VIRGO
.
Brightness variations in hundreds
of millions of light years from us
made us aim the telescopes
to know Ansky.
.
The first time a supermassive black hole
was seen waking up,
a bubble orbiting the star,
like a cocoon
it would emit ultraviolet and light,
then infrared and x-rays.
.
At the same time,
an unknown object gravitates
around the mastodon.
.
Will we witness
this monster’s breakfast?
.
ANCESTRAL ROAD WITH LIGHT POLLUTION
.
Do baby turtles enjoy the reflection
of the Moon and stars in the sea more?
.
They hatch the night in unison,
when the air is cooler
and predators are less numerous,
so their life is protected.
.
Only that the artificial lights
are turning on in the distance
and future turtles go to man,
to show him how great he is.
