Post-Treatment

Gabor Gyukics

if you’re a bit off

or in love perhaps

if you are angry of the wind

the rain

the lights

if an unknown burden weights you down

dewy mornings give you no pleasure

the news make you mad

then you think

that’s that

it’s over

you think

when the lights are shot off

then you can only visualize

your own expressionless face

because your tongue is smooth

every feather-footed noise makes you jump

that is when

your rapacious eyes reveal what you really are

yet the snow was sucked up by the same sun

that’s growing fertile seeds

from the fissures of sandy soil

yet the snow was sucked up by the same sun

that’s growing fertile seeds

from the fissures of sandy soi

yet the snow was sucked up by the same sun

that’s growing fertile seeds

from the fissures of sandy soi
