stars become embryos of nobody's parents

Sviatoslav Zhabotynskyi

stars

become embryos

of nobody's parents

 

stars

hang in the air

like a snail

that learned levitation

 

dead men

ripen

in poppy heads

 

dead men

creep into

grandmothers' mouths -

listen to

what the old people say

 

there are more embryos

in the sky

constellations become mutants

    And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.
