A POET ON A ROAD
Where am I coming?
It’s a wrong road.
Shot and burnt.
Familiar cars need familiar faces.
Where am I coming?
It’s a wrong road.
Twisted and crumbled away.
Familiar fences need familiar faces.
Where am I coming?
It’s a wrong road.
Peppered with bullet holes.
Familiar doors need familiar faces.
Where am I coming?
It’s a wrong road.
Shattered and crashed.
Familiar windows need familiar faces.
Where am I coming?
It’s a wrong road.
Bombed and ruined.
Familiar houses need familiar faces.
Where am I coming?
It’s a wrong road.
Peeled and blown off.
Familiar roofs need familiar faces.
Where am I coming?
It’s not a wrong road.
A familiar car and fence.
A familiar door and window. A familiar house and roof.

"Aware of a poet?
Aware of a poet?
A poet of Cossack broods over the land.
Not noting a bullet.
Not noting a bullet.
You see a poet of Cossack in Borodyanka."
