Miracle — Poem by Denitsa Ilcheva (2013)
The geezer pisses in an inflatable pool
at the end of my winter anxiety
I crave a miracle
huge like a paranormal trash
I hang my smile on my ears
just to put on the right face
I insult the norm in the shape
of a fat Strasbourg sausage
I swim in my inflatable pool
I like snow yellow like piss
I want something smooth, a surprise
or a swollen cherry pie
I run a factory of false hopes,
just to piss off normal people
I suffocate them in a black shirt
in the name of my glory
I want a miracle shaped
like a miraculous email, a clear letter
full of praise or a group
of potato-puffs rolling on the floor
I pulled an old geezer by his ears
and wrapped my arms around his neck
I murdered him and felt okay,
delighted by his miraculous death.
