Draco, by Paul Boboc

Draco

by Paul Boboc

The eternal guardian
of the celestial gate
has called around him
the sky chariots
for swinging
noteworthy neighboring personalities:
Vega the musician,
Deneb the flying being,
Arcturus the traveler.

~ English translation from the Romanian by Andrei Dorian Gheorghe ~
