FRAGMENTS OF A DREAM

In abandoned house, abandoned room

scattered bed without sheets,

overturned chair and chaos,

on the wire, children's underwear has drying,

I don't know where my father is now,

screaming in agony,

destroyed by that thought,

dirty road and an old fence,

in the distance are the green meadows,

black sky as before the storm,

strong winds began to blow,

in the purple twilight of my lucidity,

the wild geese soar in the sky.
