Инна Демянко
eager to take the pill just because its colour is similar to the colour of your eyes.
floating to you i'm unconscious and able
to destroy the reality
once
twice
i disguise
my fright
ready to crawl forward
in case of falling right
into the deserted creepy field where i found myself
i promise to hold tight to the invisible thread
till the end
and when i reach you then
you will shake my shoulders
and wonder how come that i'm here.
i'll mix it up with a shuddering from the chill and ask you
to cover me with a blanket
better you be my blanket instead
in your bed
in your head
in my head
lie down closer next to me and recite your poems aloud
you can wake me up any time you like
inside yourself.
i'll be there for you.
and there will always be for me our picture
on the shelf.
