Metaphysical changes

Арсений Коваленко
what changes are we waiting for?
for metaphysical changes.
we won’t ever see them,
we will keep waiting,
they don’t exist,
we will always wait for them,
it’s foolish to assume that they might be,
we will be fools, we’ll wait without a hope.

and loving someone also means
waiting for fundamental changes.
believing in Siddhartha, Jesus, Darwin,
in luck, bad luck, in ourselves
is also waiting for a miracle.
and even thinking miracles are fiction
is also waiting for them. that’s for sure.

but when both vectors, both directions
inside and outside the man
directions of landscapes and skies
of saviour’s hands and victim’s hands
when both directions meet at zero
so changes don’t occur and you don’t need them to
only then things under the moon
lose any sense
