Poem
Dmytro Lazutkin
conscience - a last dinosaur
conscience ― a last dinosaurfreezes on the edge of Sumy oblast
if you want we can go
if you want we can hang a “do not disturb” sign
I like it when
your neck-shoulders-thighs
get covered with bite marks
I love you so much
I can’t kiss you
I’m too far from the stars
besides
the switch is also out of reach
beautiful wise strange
involved with a neurasthenic
it happens —
you want to start with a clean slate
but end up coming —
onto dirty sheets
