Reversed Time -Zdravko Jissiov, Bulgaria

In this country
Everything is in reversed motion:
The splendid rainbow appears before the rain and storm,
Rest comes before work,
Eating bread-
Before sowing the grain,
Destruction before creation…
Parents don’t make their children,
But children make their parents.

So I ask myself:
Haven’t I, too, been
Through something like this-
Before I was born
I had already been dead.
