escape

ESCAPE

 

the flocks of snow-white birds

are tearing away across the sky of hope

and their tired shadows

are rushing along

upon the salty waves -

away - away - away

from the blood-red sunset

and the approaching storm:

both birds and shadows

want to break through

the time and space

for not to disappear

in the dead night's apocalyptic hush

soon after
