Free Verse Poem by Mykyta Ryzhykh
Someone covered the tracks with snow Someone inappropriate is out of sight The eyes pretend to be a bird flying into the unknown The path is the essence of the bird's path Death and birth of grass Every person is grass Every person is an animal Snow fangs bite travelers Where did the travelers go? A trip to a fairy tale is like a trip to Kafka The boy stimulates the imagination with caresses The girl mentally turns into a mermaid The impregnable stone sings an ode to silence Delimiters are converted to spaces Ragged shirts of syntax envelop the syncopations A little man is looking for happiness A small person plays with happiness The dwarfs look at Snow White to rape her Wolves feed us minced meat from grandma Babysitters pretend to be adults A boy stimulates a girl's prostate The girl becomes a thought Torn skin shirts envelop a heart lost in bones The eyes are looking for a mirror The lips silently repeat the same thing: Please
