Möbius Loop


I know it deep down,

Hoarseness

As a reason for not to sing

Is untenable.


So, I pick up the pieces,

arise,

Raising my arms up high.

Everything turns into tears thrown into the gray sea

as sky.


Not a single tear belongs to me anymore.

I smile,

The ravines ripple

Trying to eliminate the sea.


Black for all time

Since when

floats like eternal daytime on the surface of heart.


 Just another death.

I hear myself

Angry to the point of insane

Silent

lamentation.


The sea has no walls.

I hear no echo.


Plunging,

Leaves float back to the branches.

Shadows of light lick me

An old wound located on the right side of my chest.

It's not what I want.

But I say to myself

enough.


Go on.

There’re still

One thousand and one avalanches

And one cicada.
