Rozhen

The Rozhen Monastery of the Nativity of the Mother of God (Bulgarian: 
???????? ???????? "????????? ???????????", Rozhenski manastir 
"Rozhdestvo Bogorodichno") is the biggest monastery in the Pirin Mountains in 
southwestern Bulgaria. It is one of the few medieval Bulgarian monasteries well 
preserved until today.

Rozhen

on a dry tree hung
does the monastery hang

and a road is curving
like a snake
with its tail up
do you hear that cry
of the rocks
the silence screams
overcome
by all the words
by the roar of crickets
by the blood in the vains

I've never understood nothing

stuck the palms
and three fingers
above the soil
