When
You are convinced
That you have lost
All hope
And no longer believe
In anything
When even
Your shadow
Was burned
At the stake
Only have
Only
A single way:
To be born
Into a new
Zodiac sign
Unfortunately
This new miraculous
Zodiac sign,
Is not mentioned
By no ancient
Calendar
Only there
In the Rotary zodiac sign,
You will truly
Rest
Your soul
(From THE ONLY PLACE (Poems for Rotary), By George Băicoianu. Translated by Michaela Elisabeta Udrişte.)
