At the first edition of SARM’s Cosmopoetry Festival in 1996,
two young brothers and their cousin,
all of them from the town of Roman, Neamt County,
amazed the audience through their astropoems,
and afterwards became stars of the event
during the Targoviste golden age (1996-1999).





ASTRO-INVOCATION
-by Lucian Boboc-

1
What can I do with you,
meteor inhaled
by a suicidal planet?
How can I measure
my sparkle?
Should I break
my thought
in your gunpowder?
Should I surprise
your smile
or your tear
as a fiction?

2
Sweetheart,
my world of melted sulphur
has slumbered on
an eternal lost orbit.
I’ve calculated:
soon you would come
bleeding
from a quasar
to our site.
Exorcism, Sun, Death,
Dynamite.

-1996-


THE FALL OF THE EQUATION
-by Sergiu Dobos-

The strident guffaw of the young clock
scares the grey suns.

Planets line up,
murmuring ancient songs.

Tired, Orion drips his arch,
creating bitter abysses.

Lyra, Cygnus and Perseus
abandon their fixity,
going to the census.

Reposing on a commanding throne,
the Big Pendulum perspires
upon a yellowed parchment,
writing:

“Name: Ursa.
Given name: Major.
Eternity of birth…
Eternity of death…”

-1997-


MISTAKE
-by Paul Boboc-

Comet Halley was arrested
by the Galactic Supreme Committee
because she used to leave behind
too many meteoroids.

The punishment was
to look for a place of rest
around the Sun…
all her life

-1998-





ROMANIAN ORIGINAL VERSION OF THE ASTROPOEMS


ASTRO-INVOCATIE
-de Lucian Boboc-

1
Ce pot sa fac eu cu tine,
meteor inhalat
de o planeta sinucigasa?
Cum sa-mi masor
sclipirea?
Sa-mi frang
gandul
in praful tau de pusca?
Sa-ti surprind
zambetul
sau lacrima
nefiinta?

2
Iubito,
lumea mea de sulf topit
a atipit pe o orbita
vesnic ratacita.
Am calculat
ca vei veni curand
dintr-un quasar
aiurea sangerand
la noi pe plita.
Descantec, Soare, Moarte,
Dinamita.


CADEREA ECUATIEI
-de Sergiu Dobos-

Hohotul strident al tanarului orologiu
baga spaima in caruntii sori.

Planetele se aliniaza, murmurand
cantece din strabuni.

Orion isi leapada obosit arcul
lasand in urma amare genuni.

Lyra, Cygnus si Perseus
renunta la vesnica incremenire stranie
si pleaca supusi la recensamant.

Odihnindu-se pe un jilt impunator,
Marea Pendula transpira deasupra
unui pergament ingalbenit,
scriind:

“Nume: Ursa.
Prenume: Major.
Eternitatea nasterii…
Eternitatea decesului…


GRESEALA
-de Paul Boboc-

Cometa Halley a fost arestata
de Supremul Comitet Galactic
fiindca lasa prea multi meteoroizi
in urma ei.

Pedeapsa a fost
ca toata viata
sa-si caute un loc de odihna
in jurul Soarelui.
