# I just wanna walk through the woods

Ольга Слободкина

I just wanna walk through the woods

forgetting about

my great

cinematic eye -

extraordinary,

intelligent...


Wanna dissolve in the fields

of dazzling hen's blindness -

that's what we call these flowers in Russian,


to sit by the pond

taking in

the agreeable smell

of sweet river water,


or to go to the sea,

which I can't,

'cause I'm broke

after publishing

my poetry,

after exhibiting

the fruits

of my great

cinematic eye -

extraordinary

and

intelligent.
