NEAR THE ZODIAC BUILDING
Astro-photo-poem by Andrei Dorian Gheorghe
The Zodiac Building
was made around 1940 in Bucharest,
with frescoes created by Constantin Baraschi.
I walked there on September 19, 2020,
while the Sun walked through
the constellation Maiden
(in both astrology and astronomy),
so I photographed the frescoes with
Virgo, Libra and Scorpius,
the present and the near future.
Then I stopped here
because a new problem
was reported some time ago:
the 13th zodiacal constellation, Ophiucus!
Since then I can't sleep at night
precisely because I know that
the Zodiac Building needs another fresco
and I'm afraid I might be arrested
if I propose a national referendum
on this issue.
