lullaby

Серафима Пронина
I saw through the mirror
Where I drew the line.
I’ve summoned my fears
And treated them kind.
Who changes directions
When there’s not a sign?
Who deepens reflections
And takes back what’s mine?
I will never answer to any of this.
I am a moon dancer
I dance for a kiss.
In far away shelter
A bird softly lies.
Don’t dare to enter
You’ve not earned the prize.
I’m tired and sleepy
Before the long way.
The pages I’m ripping
Are running away.
The pills are not working
Until sun goes up.
Let’s wait for the morning.
It’s almost enough.
Goodnight. Never worry
Of how you might wake.
Don’t think of a glory,
You know: it is fake.
Just write down the story:
That’s how you survive.
Life’s shamelessly boring
Until you arrive
To false execution
And drop down your pride.
Sleep well. The illusion
Will help you to hide.
