bright blue cineraria blossoms
celebrate April’s light –
colorful wild grasses from the Canary Islands
bloom
against the deteriorating pulsating walls of the Old City;
yet you realize – there isn’t
a niche here for your pain, your hopelessness
narrow, stuffy –
a white cat dozes curled up on a chair
in a shop –
sun and desperation
a vase of crackling bursting buds
above them rays of light tease shadows
during the dusty heat once more you
feel your very nerves burn
sadness takes root in your heart
(Judita Vaiciunaite)
