Analysis of Ears Rocks



Ears Rocks
Ears fail to drop the magic spell,
Eyes succeed in rising prayers’ dawn,
Trembles heart, protruding space of cell,
Pierces mind, proclaiming symbols’ spawn.

Discs rotate, discoverers seduce,
Searching spheres in scorching permafrost:
What, as if – like who to where abuse
All misused, like bunch of withered roses?..

Question marks – that pounds overweight,
Exclamations – bloody postal stamps:
“Lookers Forward” – each of them has met
What deserved their tyrannies and ramps.

Failures land through ears into eyes, –
To seduce successors of the throbs:
Open space in burning lives and dies,
Leaving rubble where spirits find their rocks…
