The Word
My memory is long. I remember my birth – the cries, the pain, the suffering, becoming aware of the world around me. I remember a man in a fancy headdress touching me with his cold hands, his eyes full of joy but his voice full of sadness. “Don’t cry,” – he said. – “No matter what happens, you must not cry. I forbid you to cry.” He stroked me gently for what seemed like an eternity and then added: “Because you now carry the weight of the world. I am so, so sorry.”

To All the Ones
To all the ones who asked for change but did not specify the range. You are a very special kind – the one which favors flying blind through forests full of blades and thorns while your copilot sweats and warns that that gas is gone, and engines stalled. You think you got it down cold – then with a satisfying “splat” the world and you both go flat. Do not complain of being had but focus on the road ahead.

Forever After
Margarita walked out the gentle surf, got to her favorite palm and stretched on the soft sand in the fluttering shade. As usual, she did not have a towel, but Margarita knew the warm breeze will dry her skin quickly. And the hair… well, her hair was long now, so it’d take a while to dry.

To All The Ones
To all the ones who got away: the dice might fall the way they may, and yes the sea and yes the fish but in the end we got our wish - whatever else all others think about returning from the brink. I’ll be the first one to confess that things that could not matter less were as important, if not more, than all the things we brought to fore, but times have changed along with us and all that’s left is the alas. A queen, a king, a rook, a pawn – we all shall have our Babylon.
