GLOOMY CRACKS
In the impenetrable network of streets flooded by sunlight
Deep shadows comprise as if a boundary
Between what is named and what is nameless,
They bring bonds with the past life
With recollections buried in the darkness of oblivion,
With events yet existing without any doubt,
And even though gloom hides all the details,
It causes that they become alike
Even in the most essential features —
Deep shadows convey memories of the ancestors
Having very likely similar moments of thoughts
On other streets among other gloomy cracks
And even though they exist under the dark veil of oblivion,
It becomes clear,
That these places still hold warmth of their feet.
We cross these boundaries, not always being aware,
That they are as if dark abysses,
Where everything fades irrevocably —
Planets' routes, choirs' echoes,
Ultimate enigmas, never solved,
And your smile, while enlivening up those nights.
