Miroslava Panayotova

***
we pass our days through the sieve
we filter the sun
the cloud
the weather
the birds
the buildings
the wires
the thoughts
the black white the blue the big
we filter the world
we are afraid to keep whole
conscience

***
when the white spots of raindrops
suck cheerfully the ground
when the bare rain drenches the field as well
when wet frogs in puddles croak
then you are like one
of the many trees
soaking up the rain........
then your soul is bare and cold
like the runaway sun and moon
like the colorless sky and clean air
there is light in the sky
which slips away
the eyes look but do not see
and there are only sounds of footsteps
of passing bodies
then the air tells you the truth
heaven leaves you at the mercy of fate
and in the morning when you wake up
will the sunrise be pinker than the previous one
