Changing the past
by Dessy Tsvetkova / June 1st, 2025
If only i knew
I would plant
two drops of crystal,
to see people more clearly today.
If I knew,
I would send two gray sparrows,
in front of your window
to cast out the clouds.
Only if i knew
I would raise
that little blue-eyed fox,
who watched me in the evening
from the bushes.
If I knew,
instead of a letter
white river pebbles
I would write to you,
to build a room in your soul.
If I only knew
I would even that time,
I would have shown you,
that you are not alone.
*****
Out there,
among the dunes
in the enchanted arms
of the mirage,
she is still waiting
for her Little Prince,
the desert fox…
For her, everything is in rose ash color…
