Resignations

‘Song of The Tide’ , digital, mixed media collage by me, Mirjana M. , January 2025

Resignations

There are no buttons on my back
that you could prick upon; just skin
that never was a wing, or grew a wing
or knows much of flight, at all.

Sometimes,
kindness for oneself to me
means choosing stupidity,
one’s both hands on the wheel;
over the mirror, the gleam of a halo,
the vastness of a baby sky,
over the heathenry of it;
belief, and nothing but belief.
the fall, the fall, The Fall

the coin hits the ground like a dancer,
rhythm of the night recoils around each spin
and endings everspiral into deeper dark,
how here there are no doubts, or zippers
to un-seam
and nobody calls ’cause there’s nobody to call.

Thank you for reading ❤

Tell me something

About Me

I don’t mind the sun sometimes,
the images it shows,
I can taste you on my lips
and feel you in my clothes.
Cinnamon and sugary
and softly spoken lies,
you never know just how you look
through other people’s eyes
