Let us Request Dnieper

The river Dnieper 

Which slithers out from Valdai Russia to Ukraine 

Is sleepless without knowing any reasons 

As the old grandma, 

Dnieper never confused by the conspiracy of the world 

Now swelling with many unanswered questions 

Without any words…

The birds of Eurasia: 

•      Waterfowl –

•      Waders – 

•      Skuas

•      Auks 

•      Gulls 

•      Passerines 

Never change their song wherever they fly across those land 

Are mourn— voiceless,

They never mimic other’s lyrics 

Now, are frightened the new smell of gunpowder— the evil song

Watching the bombs with fire-tails flying over the sky 

Trembling on the potholes of uncertainty

Chewing their innocence… clueless 

 

The fearless wild animals:

Eurasian elk, Marten, Mouflon, Roe deer, Wildcat, Wild pig, and Wolf are 

Puzzled by the tanks which are throwing up the deaths 

Walking as the snake’s lateral undulation…

They are throbbing between the hollowness of wilderness 

And the firecrackers over the sky… hunching their heads…

 

Now, let us stop our never-ending arguments 

Let them ask: 

The solutions of the war,

Let them hum their common song 

Let us ask them to pair off for group performance 

Now, let us stop languages of war 

And listen to their unchanged song, their unspoiled dance 

Let us request the Dnieper to dissolve 

Our misunderstanding; egos 

Into the Black Sea, 

Silently!
