liquid day

By Maryna Smahina on November 16, 2018

one splash of water
on your face in the morning
one cup of coffee
in its instant glory
one glass of water
a couple of snowflakes
after the snowstorm
came through the borders
sweetened saliva
sparkling glass bottles
full with the promises
of mineral waters
tea with some lemon
making it stronger
then swallow feeling
of nowhere-belonging.
coming in circles
fitting the silence
liquids are crucial
for your survival.

I am a young Ukrainian author with two published novels: ‘Volkovytsi’ (2016) and ‘The Room’ (2018). Originally from the South of Ukraine, now I live in Kyiv, where I write and translate books. Currently, I’m working on a children book and some short stories.
