inside the black box

Василий Сафронов
I made a very lucky strike
when suddenly I made her feel
that she is warm and wet inside
yet ought to pay an unpaid bill.

believing in her freezing eyes
I thought it was away and gone
but what I see - same frightened mouse
still dreaming to collapse and fall.

why did you lie so many months?
what for you kept away from me?
for every locked up thirsty mouth
I've got some water and

a key.
