Epilogue Poem by Cristina M. Moldoveanu

you waited too much
about thirty years before you can say jack robinson
cheops kephren mikerynus
otherwise life like a water under the desert
always played tricks on you
pushed you hunchbacked inside caverns
where everything drips and leaves a small hole
everything yells
tears or laughter tear off from the flesh
they're forbidden since the world began
they declare you subhuman
because so many still cry with their eyes closed
you are just a riddled dummy
the more you scream the more you unwind
there's no place for you at the charity soup feast
you don't understand why
everyone is something because you are nothing
you have no bright star left
as a proof
amid the stubs from yesterday's garbage
you still smell good still wash yourself with soap
children still play with marbles
hitting the wall against which you lean
tentatively
