IDIOTS WITH AN INTERNAL TRACE

IDIOTS WITH AN INTERNAL TRACE

by Marin Angel Lazarov

Once, when we were young,

with our eyes fixed on the night

we flew. Outlines rose

touching the thickest — thighs.

Once... Wasn't it too late

to disturb young souls?

We burned with love — immature.

And slowly we swam in tears.

And slowly we arrived, naively,

at pain and longing — evil.

Exposing hearts, united,

under seagull waves.

Longings — freedom taken over,

raising ridiculous heavens.

And they fall into old age, mature,

idiots with an inner trace.
