English language poems
Orbit

Оглавление

The Earth falls towards the Sun.


There are no elephants, no turtles,

No hand of Providence

For the world to rest on.


What keeps the planet in orbit

Is its unwavering observance

Of “the laws of nature”.


But what is inside those words?

Dead force?

A command backed by fear?

A solemn promise given long ago?

Or a bitter-sweet journey

On a freely chosen path?
