52&1 pt. 1 | en ver

A year passed

The grief remains

Unsaid

We’re all left with our thoughts

 

Younger sibling left behind

With ticking clock

Losing time

As if nothing could stop it

 

And even if time could stop for the exact amount of grief to be

The world will still change

Because he is no longer here

Because something happened

 

Because of weeping and gnashing of teeth.

The one with glasses will help

But if he doesn’t, he’ll leave caraway alone

And only eat orange candy.

 

A gun above the head of the employee of the month,

Blood on the streets in the news

Time slipping away

On the clock above the head.

 

Bodies on the pathway.

People who lived even though they shouldn’t

People who died who wanted to live

The madness of a group, anarchy.

 

Life’s alright

Just forget about grief and difficulty is no more

There’s no need to pick at old scabs

Disinfect what is dead.

 

Everything will rebuild itself

One year is enough

To forget.

One hour is still too long.

 

No one hears the wails of younger sibling

Who only cried twice in their life.

Spiders have hidden his photos.

A year shall suffice.

 

A year will be enough.

Only to pretend.

Only live.

Not to look at the pain.

 

Not to look at the cut finger

Not to look at the blood clogging the drain.

To be a good human

And not bother anyone.

 

People have fallen many times

Younger sibling wasn’t the first

And that’s a pleasant thought.

Isolation is a silent killer.

 

It’s lovely in the evening time

Everything is fading away

And the hope persists

Not looking at the broken clock above the head.

 

The projectile in the air.

What if it was them and not her?

What if their friend didn’t wear glasses?

What if someone noticed?

 

No one listens.

No one cares about anyone, even their own health.

Seven years as a debt repayment.

Poverty as a time reservoir.

 

Time is money

In sad economy.

Silenced people

By government that knows every move.

 

Thus, no one revolts.

Clock-seeing children kidnapped.

There’s no need for pension

If no weak person lives past the age of twelve and everyone dies before seventy.

 

Coffee doesn’t taste as good

As when one knows it may be the last.

It might hurt the heart

But the time on earth is pre-determined.

 

The one in glasses stays the night

Reads books until younger friend-sibling

Falls asleep.

Sneaks out in the light of dawn.

 

It’s lovely to dream

If only the dreams could last forever…

He would’ve lived and no one would despair

Therefore younger sibling wanted to sleep through the rest of their life.

As always, they needed to wake up.

They left Sunday blues and dreams

and hebetude in a corked bottle

As if it was a message to be read.

 

They found nepenthe in writing orphic texts.

The hubris flowing in their pen as ink

And no one listening ever

No one reading.

 

Mind lost

After thousands of iteration of one thought

As it loses

Its meaning fully.
