The beautifully feathered, dreaming albatross

told Mary the dreamiest story about hereafter:

There are four amazing horsemen of the apocalypse:

small wolf, a fawn, a wildcat, as well as a piglet.

They will drink from four charming goblets of paradise,

drunk on the alluring dazzle of the eudemonia,

then the ambrosia will be drunk from goblets by cats.

The bird told the she-pirate furthermore words:

At the last Judgement it will be decided,

which he-dog Dude or she-dog Daisy barks louder!

The winning animal would eat delicious seals.

However the letters will become dust in air.

Forever forgotten and lost!

Like Prometheus – unbound.

Paweł Markiewicz was born 1983 in Siemiatycze in Poland. He is poet who lives in Bielsk Podlaski and writes tender poems, haiku and long poems.
