The Luck

Серафима Пронина
There's no "now" and no "then".
No time.
They have done this again.
But why?
What's the name of the curse?
The Trust.
Watch how quickly it burns-
So fast...
Expectations are tall,
But shame
Is the shortest of all.
It's lame...
Crawling out of the dark-
And runs.
Runs away, very far
Don't glance
Like Orpheus:
Don't break the rule.
It will haunt you at once
To fool.
Turn your back
And be standing still.
Trust your luck.
Not a thing
Is real.
