three kilometres from here is a long, wide road
made of cement
it is not very long but long enough
it is another world driving on that stretch of road
the air is so pure, if I close my eyes I become calm in a second
thousands cross that road each day but nobody stops on it
and takes a moment to just breathe
and listen to the nature’s song
I go there sometimes
what I fail to find here, I desire to find it there
sometimes, the sunset is short.

I closed my eyes to feel the symphony
Handel was playing so beautifully
like a war was coming and men were readying themselves to spill their blood
and that of others
there is something in music that pulls me to it
those were war days unlike yesterday and today
today, man cannot die with a laughter on his face
he is incapable of it
his brain has filled with crap
he is not here anymore; anyone who is not here
has no chance at a good laughter.

for a minute standing here is alright
in the mild torment of rainy winds
they carry only coldness to my skin
they feel alright for a minute
thereafter, my bones start failing to comply
an urge to run there, to that lone bulb glowing
and stand underneath it and just that
this home will be left behind me
for a little while
I will be looking at it from there
leave now than later.

when has this sky bled so beautifully
as it is bleeding right now
its blood was golden a while ago
a few looked at it like I did
now the blood has travelled beyond those mountains
that I will never reach,
not today.

I returned from hell a while ago. A new devil has arrived. Arrived after months of waiting. The roads here are again full of people. As usual, they gather wherever they want to. Their gathering is often without reason. Who has got the balls to ask them to go home? I am sitting outside, listening to Debussy, to his fingers cracking down on piano. A soft breeze has wrapped my body. A man gathers all his pain and pours it into his cello and starts playing. So melodious and heartbreaking. Why not break today? Tomorrow might bring something better. Why not break into this melody and flow out of here to somewhere else?

right before my eyes
another sun has set
the dark fang of plague
is finally here, ready to rip
my skin
my eyes close on the touch
of a breeze
my nose adjusts to the absence
of smell
i am slipping
out of this place,
out of this body.
