THE STAR EXPLODED

The star exploded in the children's eyes!

I gave up the pain of separation.

I was not afraid - wine is bitter.

I did not betray myself to my weakness.

Oh, pain - tenderness, in my angry chest

it burned. I left the questions

to search for fingers, clouds, and lies.

I did not betray my conscience.

I was not naive. Nor perceptive.

I gave everything away in my new body:

salty eyelashes, islands. Shy

Before my kindness, I did not betray myself.

I didn't even know - my boy

would ever say the sneaky word "dad".

I saw malice in the child's heart.

I did not betray my love.

I had no mother. Nor a brother.

I did not create malicious joy for God.

I despised the end in my first sin.

I did not betray myself before my memory.

The counter is full of sights—eyes.

The body stopped falling in rhythm.

I trembled without pain. The devil is silent.

I did not betray myself before my essence.
