Sound by Mykyta Ryzhykh

 


sound
sounds in the darkness are unknown
like hungry puppies eyes are darting around

the river burst here
now we divide the silence in half and eat in silence

nobody knows what we are thinking
honestly speaking I don't even know who you are and who I am

we are all drowned
and through our cries the flower of music grows
