Cosmic Multicultural Bucharest in the Pandemic (127):
The Day a New War Began
By Andrei Dorian Gheorghe (astro-photo-poem) and Florin Alexandru Stancu (design)
February 24, 2022.
A reddish bird cloud called the sunrise.
Apparently a mild morning.
Suddenly the terrible news that
a new war had begun
beyond the borders of my country!
I tried to find a foothold
and ran to the university square.
Here I wanted to see again
a monument of national independence,
but the Sun was covered with clouds for a while.
And when the Sun reappeared above the monument
I wondered if his rays in people's souls
would be able to block this new tragic outburst
from Pandora's Box.
