I want by Mykyta Ryzhykh

 

Alan Cabello

I want 

I want to be a killer sleeping on crumpled grass

I want to be buried in crumpled grass


I want to kill

I want to be


Buried under the grass is a home for worms and insects

The buried has no room for error


I want to kill the war

I want to be home

Reprint from The Gravity of the Thing
