    Alba Iulia (2.-5.April: diese Stadt ist wirklich schnuckelig)

    Sometimes I do have them
    These sincerely happy moments
    Where the beauty of life
    It comes over me – open-hearted
    in absence of guile
    With sunshine in my back
    My neck being warmed up
    in need of the setting sun

    to my right
    I see the vanishing hills
    in hazy blurred skies
    One of them – far to the left
    is still wearing a crowned aesthetic
    a white blanket of its own

    right behind me
    a woman: winged with folded might
    sunlight sets, she’s looking further ‘wards east
    music in my mind, music up the street
    petals sway in rhythmic breaths of silent wind
    ivory touches on cerulean carpets with
    garnet, crimson and saffron hamsayes
    side by side by side

    Whilst
    a couples’ lips touch
    – and the musics’ sound is overwhelming –
    a soft brush turns into a whispered sough
    below soft gazes gentle refuge

    they feel each others comfort.
    protected luck

    to my left I could barely be less bothered
    Joy Kogawa is to talk to me
    as if not lions’ protection was to send a regard
    to tall buildings trembling shape

    "Where there's a wall there are words to whisper by loose bricks"

    the perfection of alabaster stone
    in togetherness with
    crumbling scenes of empires fall
    but! not only one but two
    shared by history’s greatest bards
    in recent memories’ lane.

    As I have come to sit here
    cherishing
    in blossoming corners of my utterance
    revealed in speech

    children in dazzling dresses
    pink in colour, winging their way
    have leaped into unknown future: counting
    Trei
    Doi
    Unu
    that is what is left
    Of sunlights’ fleeing.

    And my flitting of my own.
