Pill in hand

spark of life
pill in hand
hamster house
sleepless night
the goal of perfection
body buttons
dead people on vacation
chief of chief

     spark of life
     a small light of someone else's life / Remarque
...when a person leaves,
becomes quiet:
here is the extraordinary significance of the dying
or at least sick

so who needs us?

     pill in hand
blurry face leaning over
pill in hand

then back away...
...this stink from the mouth
! faster, even faster...

     hamster house
     nothing awaits a person anywhere / Remarque
? and an empty room with a fallen book,
a dry bowl in front of the hamster's house...

what people try to ignore
doesn't mean anything yet

     sleepless night
     when all women are beautiful / Remarque
in the morning - sewer noise,
then light...
vice versa in winter...
no, the dog barks first

the night is over
you can live a little

     the goal of perfection
the ground doesn't seem safe enough
and the fractures have grown together into a long
memory

looking in the face you can say very
for a long time

perfection is not the goal
only things are perfected, but people
puke and fart

     body buttons
     unsteady kind of happiness / Remarque
a torn button is easy to sew on,
like it belongs to the body

they separate us when
it seems the body is slowly catching
light

     dead people on vacation
     words spoken in the dark / Remarque
the years slam shut behind us like doors:
wake up - spring, fall asleep - like autumn

we are the dead on vacation,
you say

     chief of chief
     every boss has a boss
               /Remarque
happiness is confused with despair!
...words are similar:
they have the same sounds
diphthongs, says the scientist

! Chief,call your boss
