Poetry from Mykyta Ryzhykh

І love you more than dried pineapple

death teaches us to read sugared lips

we die near the source from which sweet syrup flows instead of water

І love you more than

death is the dried body of my beloved

every time I stand by the bridge I remember that I can’t swim

I like to drown myself but every time I accidentally swim up but alas in vain

I love

I’m learning silence to drink silence

I teach you death

І love to remember the skin and pretty ass of my lover

my memory floats in a cemetery that is not able to live without graves

I can’t live a day without flowers

standing at the grave, I can not live a single day without flowers

these flowers are for you my love

I teach all birds to turn into stones

I am learning the wind and composure

I’m dying of thirst in the rain

I die when I realize that I am standing in a cemetery

I’m dying

I’m dying

***

the sky is for the birds

the sky is meant for mosquitoes

the sky is not meant for airplanes

heaven orally pleases military pilots

***

I fucked so loud that the wall burst

I moaned so loud that my veins burst

I didn’t hear the bombs fall

our fingers were intertwined during the kiss

semen washes away any blood

nightingales outside the window sing incredibly quietly
