Don't keep your hands under the covers, it's ugly and unhealthy.

How good I am with you
my heart is beating so much
I thought human has no heart.

I don't believe in turning water into wine
I don't believe in forgiveness of sins
I don't believe in bodily resurrection.

A human being is killed like an animal
I saw:
vans of crazy people
who will not be saved.

These are empty and unambiguous names:
man and animal
love and hate
enemy and friend
darkness and light.

I am twenty-four
led to slaughter
I survived.

Really
I don't have time
to end
this poem
who has time now
to write poems

I have been writing for a very long time
I suddenly noticed that
I don't have a pen in my hand

A rose is a flower
or the name of a dead girl.
You can place a rose in a warm hand
or in the black earth.
The red rose screams
the golden-haired girl left in silence.

For centuries, women have been raped in every war. It's even a pleasant activity, sometimes I would rape if I caught up. But my leg, my knee hurts.

I was lying on the bed fully clothed and thinking about the fact that there were various pieces of furniture, books, and pictures hanging here, but it all made no sense. I'm lying here too and I don't make sense either.
