A DROP OF BLOOD
on the Slide of a Microscope
By Lusine Haroyan
I felt the heat of your lips in my spine...
My body desired you-
powerful and nihilist.
I dreamt to have the tattoo
of Eternity on my breast.
I crashed the panes of the windows
and wandered nakedly to seek my totem.
I embraced the blue adagio of time...
Over there
I see puritans...
At a distance
fire, faces...
Taboo...
taboo...
And a gray wolf.
A wounded gray wolf.
A howl...
owoo...owoo...
Blood in the snow...
