THE RETURN OF ORION
Astro-photo-poem (cosmopoem) by Valentin Grigore

Proud Orion comes back to our sky.

Orion, always charming…
with his stars,
red Betelgeuse and blue Bellatrix
carried on his shoulders,
with Saiph and Rigel
for shoes,
with the string of beads from the belt
(Alnitak, Alnilam and Mintaka),
and with the colored queen among nebulae,
M42, 
engraved on the dagger blade.

The legendary hero of the winter sky
appears again on the canopy of heaven,
for now still shy
in the summer mornings of August.
