(memory) Balm

here comes one of your
fav anniversaries
tell me what've you managed
to still so far - I mock you as

the closets are full of
unpacked gifts because
I don't know what might be inside

it's crucial to mark
the end of this snake as not to become
the top of the biggest lameness

because!
because!

Housing Estate Resurrections

the children are healthy
safe and tasty

like abortion on demand

people from a queue for bread
look - this is the landlords revenge
lofty intent and a king of bends

look - this is what the TV money are
gorgeous and motley
don't fret precious -
some start to dream just now

but if you need me - I am
in the house next door

Homecoming

English winter rain
somewhat suffocating

we wreck what we create
because we own the sky

so many moons here
lost wings floating


each shade of blue
is kept in her eyes
soft, tender or cruel
can't we change our minds?

***

the shallow breath
ecstasy is carnal
soul hides in the corner
a spear blade, for me, for ever?
it's a different story, tagged
one heart stabbed, while the other waiting for a stroke
no, I've never kissed you, he said,
and all this just for you
how is it that you don't have to be perfect for me to love you?
