What is ignorance?
I have thought about it a lot
and concluded that it is
mindless pride
empty and meaningless.

When you don’t know how to treat others,
when you fail to understand another’s pain,
then it no longer matters
how many books you have read,
for you cannot even hold a conversation
without hurting the one you speak with.

everything has changed  and you ?    a stranger for it
                   rapid construction with matter   en vogue or on hand
         and you flirt thru   a portfolio of guest incarnations
                                                    ­      like a japery
we experiment with death   when we (breath-catches-breath)
       recreate this fast
                         and disregard  past experience

Neli: We probably live in chaos…
Irene: No, we’re just in political chaos.
Neli: I agree. How much does the Dutch cheese I love cost?
Irene: More than love. ))
Neli: My husband says my love costs him a lot.
Irene: Hahaha.
Neli: When I was working, he never said that. But I always reply that love is priceless though I do love exotic and truly expensive dishes.
Irene: Well, isn’t love worth being expensive? Like the price of a Gucci bag.
Neli: Of course!
Irene: Hahaha.

A small swamp where you cannot sink,
cannot hide in the clouds,
and cannot heal wounds by resting your head on your mother’s lap.
When pain and sorrow surge through your body at once,
it means you feel adulthood.

Caramelized popcorn with chocolate is my favorite. In general, I compare popcorn to the freshly blossomed quince flowers of spring.
Today, I bought some for a movie.
I wanted to write about it.

The house with the terrible smell of cow's blood,
And their hot manure, which would stain the house of my childhood,
Where such things happened,
Horrifying colorful images.
And not the kind that comes from Doris Lessing's words,
This flesh is not for charity,
It’s livestock for sale at the market,
Impossible to regulate...
The dried pork my grandmother saved for me,
Which I never eat,
A bite of my lunch.
Wrapped in newspaper, a good piece,
Redirected to the neighbors,
Little young calves,
With eyes wide open,
Their meat cooked with herbs,
Their skins salted,
Their cries hide in my heart,
Death is coming,
You turn into a dead corpse,
But their eyes stare in vain,
And the feet of the calves hop involuntarily,
It's a sad morning, says my uncle,
And with peasant manners, he smokes a cigarette.
The corpse, loaded into the car,
Dragged for sale,
My uncle brings water from the well,
Drinks it like a pig, burping,
I feel nauseous,
And I wonder where the black birds are,
But my uncle doesn't die in an accident,
The days repeat,
The pear trees that cover the yard with their branches,
The window panes reflect their shadows,
Why doesn't my heart stop,
During the ball game?
Weighed down by someone else’s sin,
I approach the ******* stone,
While my uncle urinates under the tree.
This text is not well-structured; I just wanted to say that.

Keep the strawberry pie,
You sit on the couch in a tidy house.
Staring at the walls,
You start scrolling through Instagram
The same hellish selfies over and over,
But you draw tree branches with fallen leaves in pencil.
