Five Untitled Poems by Mykyta Ryzhykh

 



Five Untitled Poems


***

eaten pencil of thought

useless pencil of thought

the destroyed pencil of thought


is inserted into the condom of the current legislation


 

***

the black night of the black earth 

stands against the snow


 

***

smoke is seen outside the city

autumn mist is missing

life floats away


 

***

sarabande in the ears

when we were born music became our homeland

 

all our lives we fight with silence

our whole life is a war with silence


 

***

the hole in my body is growing

rubbish is pouring out of the hole sand and thoughts

 

I draw a sculpture with my body

I draw а human with my body
