Voices
the pandemic taught me
how to fall in love with voices
that’s why i don’t want it to end
grotesque faces
hidden behind turned-off cameras
reproducing nice words and soft sounds
controlling their anger and ignorance
by muting their mics
you can’t dress voices elegantly
can’t do their make-up
can’t powder them
these voices hide in them a secret wisdom
maybe from a past life
i imagine the owners of the voices are always
happy, very, very happy….
Mariya, we can’t hear you!
are you still connected?
maybe her net is down
sorry all, it seems that we lost Mariya…
no net. connecting…
Mariya is rejoining the meeting.
hey guys, sorry, i am back
did i miss a lot?
Sciamachy
do we have time to be happy?
do we have time to fall in love?
tell me what is happening-
why being an adult is so tough?
don’t ignore your own feelings!
don’t hide behind your busy life!
don’t build, destroy your ceiling!
there are blue skies above…
