Florian Saioc published Photonic Game
in 1986
and recited it at the first edition of SARM’s Cosmopoetry Festival
in 1996.





Billions of photons thunder me
a strange sound in a wild dance
it is the song of light that burns me
it’s the percussion of chained photons

Weaving cold lines in their game
they copy my small countenance
and my image runs with three hundreds
of thousands of kilometers per second

They pulsate through the sky’s lens
they dilate in infinite spaces
and my image stolen by their game
lives not for millennia, but for eternities





ROMANIAN ORIGINAL VERSION OF THE ASTROPOEM


JOC FOTONIC

Ma fulgera fotonii miliarde
un sunet straniu-n zvapaiatul dant
e sunetul luminii ce ma arde
percutia fotonilor in lant

In linii reci de jocul lor tesute
imi copiaza-nfatisarea-mi scunda
imaginea-mi alearga cu trei sute
de mii de kilometri pe secunda

Si prin lentila cerului pulseaza
in infinite spatii se dilata
nu mii de ani ci vesnicii dureaza
imaginea-mi de jocul lor furata
