A Brilliant Minute by Alona Yakovenko

The bottle is empty

The cigarette’s out

Plenty of problems

All vanished in drought

I slump in a chair

Eyes fixed on the sky

Counting the seconds

Until I get high

A brilliant minute

Is coming my way

Shutters the world

And I fly away

From a primitive buzzing

Of a despondent day

To a precious illusion

That begs me to stay

In a world without ache

And the ex-lovers too

Only whispers in veins

Eclipse echo of you

But after each high

Comes all the low

Silence is louder

Than I used to know
