Two mistakes
It's long past midnight—the moon and stars race across the sky on a path known only to them, crickets "sing out" their intricate trills, a restless family of owls tirelessly carries off unwary mice and frogs for their chicks, and I'm still standing on the balcony. Sleep hasn't come to me for several days now.
Any moment now, my beloved wife Elena will come out to me—I can already smell the incomparable scent of her hair and hear her light, weightless footsteps. She'll come up to me, press her noticeably rounded belly against my back from behind, and lay her lovely head on my shoulder…
Well, there it is again, a shiver runs through me from her touch and her voice:
— Your nightly vigils again? — she says, as if
with reproach. — Lately, you've been spending more time with your owls than with me.— Yeah, those parasites woke me up again… — I try to lie delicately, but Lena knows me like the back of her hand.
— No, I mean yes… I got all tangled up. And myself I don't understand.

— All I think about is them. What's most important?
— All I think about is them. What's most important?
— All I think about is them. What's most important?
— All I think about is them. What's most important?
— All I think about is them. What's most important?
— All I think about is them. What's most important?
— All I think about is them. What's most important?
