IX

A mental desert—
where people
did not return from death;
where dogs
did not warn you of anything
especially of the morning;
where jesus
did not do it for you alone;
where space
truly lacks oxygen;
where birds
are just birds and you
are not one of them
no matter how hard you flap;
where you
yourself, are not anything
but a guy- a girl- a muppet.
Dreams ceased
and my heart stopped.
