Finale of my play

Pictures: Vladimir Kush

"You know how I love you?"

“Even now?”

You ask in wonder

“After all the thorny flowers

I bestowed upon you?"

I laugh,

A moment of silence 

It’s an awkward sense, don’t you think?

After all the thorns....

I reply

                         “still!”

I ask again “….”

 

“What you’re saying girl

Over the forest of time

Yesterday and today

Now! Hazy and Grey

Still?”

I wonder how my madness you don’t know

“Do you know how I love you?”

 

You answer in surprise

"No!How?

My crazy dove

At the finale of your play?

How?”

“You’ve been tattooed in me”

“Where?Where?”

“In a small house within a capillary

In a house like no other

Behind my heart's wall

By the foot of that small capillary
Yes, the small capillary

In a space
You’re tattooed.

And my heart till I don’t know when

Shall play your drum

Spring Resurrection(mask)

 Unless,

by accident

I give away my heart

In a night of passion

to be free

then my heart might laugh

Once more

Die once more...”
