Opportunity

Stray, it was trying to hide in a hollow of the tree.

But only for a moment.

Agitated magpie aimed with a half-rusty spoon in its mouth turned the refuge for lonely wanderer into farce.

3 bottles of champagne

The doctor. White solitude. Who knew: inside – a poet & artist.

“No emotions”, - she says while noticing 3 bones-models, colored as a bikini, on the shelf. –“Do you know what I see? “– doc turns, then grinning back in her wetted eyes…

3 bottles of champagne

ready to explode

trapped emotions

...its lips give to drink...

Life fragments

scattered in pain

through the chambers

heart purifying love

a ripple: is that a risk or a chance?

*Title - fragment from the poem by Rumi, the painting - a fragment of youth exhibition

Retrograde

eyes move

lightheaded

the pressure on

who said:

be prepared

when retrograde

Mercury- friend

come as a refrain

to remind

the old,

thought gone,

from the past

phenomena

recurring, did

they pass? no,

they – in the dream

watching you

chop the new

discovered

perspective

contrary to ream

piled on

the shelves, closets

filled in eve

the spreads

they talk of lessons:

where did you

give your power

away?

loosen the chain…

spring…

freeway…
