picture postcard 1

in the big square of the city is peace and quiet
on one side there are on the cobblestone
a thousand clay heads
each one is unique and one of fifty is blue
like the blue house next to the brukenthal palace
in front of the town hall stops a bmw with cd
the ambassador of Austria descends
he enters nonchalantly and elegantly dressed the former bank building
once the police prefecture and the police officer tells me
smiling to get lost and shoot pictures more discreetly
not knowing that I stay here during a the gray day
with anemic rain drops scarce pigeons
just a dozen to photograph the crowd of clay heads
between which as it were established
sleeps a homeless dog with no head
in the big square of the city it is as quiet as possible
as peaceful as possible
