“Description” by Emanuil Vidinski

The Season of Delicate HungerThe blue eyes
screaming in silence
and disobedience
the lips
the upper of which reveals itself
only in a smile
thick and exciting
like a scar from childhood
the groove between the breasts
the truest home
the palms the neck the thighs
pressing my pulse

nobody is irreplaceable
not even I.

-Emanuil Vidinski
