for a moment
the minotaur his pride bows-
a startle
memories and perfume of a queen
through magnolias





quiet nest
a sky without fear flows in
peace along stone walls
the peacocks October marvels whirl
nostalgias scattered through opuntia flowers





sunset on the sea shore
fingers covered in waves
la petite fille de la mer
Vangelis sings:
vibrations through crystal chandeliers



fig sweetness
and a chronicle of a lost land-
light
Dărăscu runs the colours together
Balcic is painted within the heart


blue arrow
cranes pierce horizons
in the marble bath
only whispers
brought by waves


the king’s crowd with
heraldic golden lilies
in Alba Iulia was worn-
from beyond the threshold of eternal silence
love for the country fights its way to us
