The Shackles

The Shackles

A Poem by Katarzyna Anna Koziorowska

How to heal from heavenly silence
when your life dies,
broken in two?
How can you get rid of wrinkles
on the soul when the body is so naive?

I cannot find the source
of this hatred, I do not know how
to free myself from the shackles
that nobody's truth
has woven for me.

I wade through the burning cities,
choking on the smoke of burning hopes,
a crowd of my brothers and sisters
kneeling at my feet.

I was born into this wonderful lie
by mistake.
Please do not take my burnt blood
from me.
Do not deprive me of the empty heart
that is the last memento 
of the last apocalypse.
