During the strike from this autumn, on a Thursday, a phone call announces a meeting with all the leaders from this area. Rains insistently - scattered by wind leaves everywhere Pitiless rain in Cugir. I make up my mind rapidly. I get into Dacia. A trip in such conditions is difficult. I will be a copilot as at so many other times. At road, traffic intense. The cars have their headlights on. They drive cautiously. Until Vintu de Jos, we drive much slowly as usual. At the barrier - dozen of cars are waiting only one train The road is free. We steal among full waterholes. It rains no more. My eye is caught by a small house. On old fence invaded by lonicera - last flowers Next, an unpopulated house. Across the fence only a raspberry - the last from this year On leaving Vint, we can improve the speed. I have time to look towards the sky. The clouds are scattering. Behind us, the sun. Double rainbow from Acmar to Alba - bow spreaded through clouds Cheered up by the rainbow, the road seems easier, Alba Iulia closer. Wet pavement - maple-leaves burning cover it Warmed up by sun, the bimillenial city is much hospitable. Waiting the meeting end, I wander to the shops and admire the leaves from the trees which start their flight...

In timpul grevei din aceasta toamna, intr-o zi de joi, un telefon anunta ca urmeaza o sedinta cu liderii de zona. Ploua insistent – imprastiate de vant frunze pretutindeni Ploaie nemiloasa la Cugir. Ma hotarasc rapid. Urc in Dacie. Un drum in astfel de conditii e dificil. Voi fi, ca de atatea ori, copilot. Pe sosea e circula?ie intensa. Masinile au farurile aprinse. Se circula cu prudenta. Pana la Vintul de Jos, mergem mult mai incet ca de obicei. La bariera – zeci de masini asteapta un singur tren Drumul e liber. Ne strecuram printre gropile pline de apa. Nu mai ploua. Privirea imi este atrasa de o casa mica. Pe gardul cel vechi napadit de caprifoi – ultimele flori Alaturi, o casa nelocuita. Dincolo de gard doar un bob de zmeura – ultimul din acest an La iesirea din Vint, putem mari viteza. Am timp sa privesc spre cer. Norii se imprastie. In spatele nostru, soarele. Curcubeu dublu de la Acmar la Alba – arc intins prin nori Inveselita de curcubeu, drumul mi se pare mai usor, Alba Iulia mai aproape. Trotuarul ud – frunze de artar ce ard il acopera Incalzit de soare, municipiul bimilenarl este mult mai primitor. Asteptand sa se termine sedinta, colind magazinele si admir frunzele copacilor care isi iau zborul… |

| Beautiful Haibun Maria! ~~~ Please correct the following typo errors. "copilot as at so many other times" ~~ "headlights" ~~ "full waterholes" ~~ "My eye is caught by a small house." ~~~~ "by the rainbow" ~~"bimillenial" | |
