Three poems by Mykyta Ryzhykh

Mykyta Ryzhykh, Nova Kakhovka Citу, Ukraine

 

I

 

the world has changed

snow cheetah jumping 

into the void

 

II

 

why is my throat not a garden 

from my childhood

every morning I suffocate

from the lies of the weather and dirt

 

III

 

the bird has no other home 

than the universe

 

Mykyta Ryzhykh’s work has been published in Soloneba, Littsentr, Ukrainian Literary Gazette, Bukovynsky Journal, Stone Poetry Journal (USA) and elsewhere.
