White Stars

Like grandmother’s comfort in winter nights, the light burns under the carpet carrying the stories of angels. We see under the glass of water the beginning of the world. Children proclaim in rhythm of snow, white mountains hold in their palm the herd of the village. English Translation by Zorin Diaconescu
