and sky has fallen
rain started to fall
unknown is above all
God’s button turns red and bursts.
Forever.
The body turned into a cocoon of a dead butterfly
Cause you’ll never say my name in any of the sand languages
The wind of memory carries away your smells, photos and appearance
In the end, it’s painful to jerk off on Snapchat knowing that it’s not you on the other side of the screen
A whirlpool of silent shadows begs the night for the stars to light up
My body, my thoughts, my dreams, this is a destroyed house that no longer exists
Someone sings without knowing their own muteness
The dragon pierces my chest with its fang and seeks my heart
How can I be sure that I still have a heart?
All searches in my chest are in vain
Where do dragons come from now?
Only dreams can be magical and happy
The light shines right in your face
The sun creates a forced smile
Everyone loves you because now you’re dead
And the tears of those present shine preciously in the sun
The trees and birds are alone and silent
The door to the future is closed by a coffin plaque
No one responds to messages on Tinder
I deleted Tinder
I don’t respond to requests from neighbors and friends
They are trying to remove me from life
What is life if not virtuality
What is death if not a program failure
expiration date of dreams
in the cherry orchard tree ribs
crawl out of the ground
the dream’s shelf life
in the cartilages of cherries
and the fire burns the past to the ground
city cats live in garbage dumps
and the city doesn’t end
and more and more garbage
