В пряничном домике,
Сбоку на пику,
Я наливал тебе в рот
Ежевику.
Вот Дровосеки,
А вот Эвридика,
Быстро все в торт.
Только тихо.

This poem is about the freedom to play with meanings, images, and the body beyond gender norms. There are no “proper” bodies, no “normative” genders here — only a space where blackberry and Eurydice can share the same frame, and a cake can become a medium for dialogue rather than an object. All genders are needed, all genders matter. Western culture thrives in ambiguity — and that is its strength.
