R. Rastauskas "Lonely flags" are flapping in the wind and every poem like "a fly // is flying towards the light / towards death" (p. 140) - will it reach the reader, become a meaning for him that he heard and felt? Will the timid, uncertain, palpable poetic speaking twitchy with syllables "mi-li-me-ter-si-ze / pa-per of me-mo-ry" (ibid) - author's hope, in order "from God's / creation // to creation / of art" (ibid) - come true - will be for you, the reader, to say.
