STATUES

I could not just deny that it was you.
You did what you had done before so many times.
Time flew away as it would do –
Do you believe in stories, fables, lies?
 You know you cannot wear disguise. Devise. Comprise you’re tacit, nice.

 



It is so complicated, so unreal, it’s me.
Me carrying some water for those kids.
Kid her with, may be, fairy-tales for thee…
The only was it for good night...
 I’m wistful for the fortnight that went by. Skydive alone. All right.


Ф



Ok. I’ll let it go just to know that it’s mine.
Mine, dig out treasures from the holes;
Whole thing is that I dare to toe the line
Lines, wrinkles, greasy hairy armpits, no’s…
 Nose when you kiss it every day. Okay. For sale.

О


Care not for those trimming hair.
Hares do not bite white birches in the woods.
Would one of us betray his own mare?
Nightmare is what you see when I ‘oh’ by some broods.
 God knows which one exactly needs his goods. Forgetful moods.



Yeah, that will be the last one for today.
Day after night keeps changing like it does.
Does that mean that we, too, chose ‘the’ way?
It’s either ‘yes’ or ‘no’ as you like it mean us.
 ‘Stand by your man’ it went once. Yes, for me it still DOES.
