letters (every word is important)

Good bye... I am sorry... How insignificant and meaningless those words are or how incredibly important! Development of language evolved us into modern Homo sapiens and true magicians. Think about it, all we have, all we know, all we do – is born, encoded and passed forth by the medium of words. Moreover everything is stored via words into our communal memory: our feelings, memories, memories of others. We become adepts of language and we learned to trick ourselves into the idea that “words are empty and deeds are meaningful”. The truth is – we had created a prison without walls and become own prisoners. It is a perfect setting, we cannot escape, because there nothing to escape from…. And how important “Good bye” is? It is not if you have a choice to say it or not. Although if you are stripped off that choice, it will hunt you beyond your grave … EVERY WORD IS IMPORTANT.

GOOD BYE
you said “good bye”
casually… on the parking lot,
walking me to my car.
ten feet of walk equal ten years of life.
you didn’t have time for an explanation.

our hearts were cold,
frozen into the icicles,
they resonated like a crystal glasses
in the middle of celebration
upon touching each other.

I listen to your reasons
and was wondering
if people toast on funerals…
