by Marieta Maglas
She has been in the burning frost of the highest peak
to unlock the deepest secret and to release the bittersweet
sorrow. In her upward fall, she told the downright evilness,
'I want nothing more and never again. ' She hung those words
in that eloquent quietness and the quietness oscillated in
the air. She found its own sense and the opposite. The words
and the memory blackouts were like the stars and the holes. In
a spiritual freezer burning, she reached the insomniac
dreams of her destiny and the deceptiveness of her distorted
fate. A new time made them grow into dormant feelings and
vice versa much more than certain old lyrics could turn into
pure music sounds to be lyric songs again. Her silent scream
slipped into a cosmic echo through the gate of that magic
realism. Became deafening stillness forever. Fairly obviously,
the down climbing evilness replied, 'I want nothing
more and never again, nothing more and never again.'
