Two Poems by Volodymyr Bilyk

hold your breath for a minute or so

Complacency sets in
Squandering
the savage jaw

"Drive", he said
"Steve Taylor"

"Drive", she said
"Stan Ridgway"

"...A change of speed,
a change of style.
A change of scene..."

you dream of their kiss
Do you think you'd like that?
