Walls can’t save a house
Our memory fades during artillery shelling
God looks like you and also like a section of forest burned under the snow
The rusty bones of the snowflakes show me the grinding path
I step quietly so as not to wake up the little Jesuses – not yet resurrected flowers
Nobody knows what will happen at the end of the road
Probably at the end of the journey we will all return home
After all the earth is cruelly looped by an ellipsoid
But now in front of me is a fork of cast-iron milk of the night
Where should I go: forward or into the future?
Each step seems like a step into the grave abyss
The cemetery stuck like a sticker to a shoe can’t be peeled off
A snowstorm begins and the voice of the wind begins Celans aria
The ivory of the sky dissolves in the eyes
I lose strength and reluctantly fall asleep on chest of the wind
I dream about you and it seems to me that now you are even more like God
My body is covered with a blanket of snow and I’m burning for the last time
i just need to believe that
i love you
i just need to not believe that
i love you
people fly past like stones wrapped in autumn
death is just a smile in a photograph
memory is just a game of erasing
but people die without graves without seeing off without goodbyes
without true love
inside a head
clogged with
the murderous
silence of screams
people airplanes fly past like stones wrapped in autumn
dead people are meaningless
because the dead are not people but statues
the most terrible thing is
when disabled people leave alive
or when any people return from war
all wars begin with the fact that all people are refugees within themselves
and there is no eternal return to a memory-depleted space
body fly past like stones wrapped in autumn
all wars begin with the fact that no one loves anyone says spring
and spring dies in summer uselessness
death on behalf of hands, wrists, broken kisses
all in vain
:::
nobody fly past like stones wrapped in autumn
