[he was born on a blessed sunday], Mykyta Ryzhykh

Michael Diehl, Birds-3

 

***

he was born on a blessed sunday

аnd immediately turned

into a wolf

people hated and offended him

he was afraid of people

he took the name god

god is like a dog but vice versa

he wanted to become a god once

upon a high sunday

he went to school

once on a high sunday

the school took off into the air

that day the dogs

howled louder

than before

that night

the wolves came to the city

and dug a grave for their god

the wolves cried

over the grave all day and all night

and people went to work the next morning
