Надежда Пустовойтова. Please don t hurt me

Надежда Пустовойтова
sadness dawned on me
for all your reasons
those words were leaden

whereas
I needed a blank space
not even semicolon

slow in motion
the words came through
and I -
saw cranes

in the sky
they flew in V-pattern
a dotted line
migrating south

poor things
those heavy clouds
were sticky
sky's aloof

I hadn't slept all night

for all the unintended truth
my vision was impaired
choice limited
and feelings patchy
