blue skies poetry

A leaf of smoke is growing through a hole in the clouds.
I can see its reflections in the mirrors,
Hidden in far corners of my room.
The leaves of glass feel at home in the comfort of our flat,
And the pain of a distant tragedy
Becomes an ordinary performance
On the screen of their indifferent eyes.
A merciless fantasy.

~ Alan Zhukovski
