Pre-war

summer of booksellers.

Time has passed,

and a happy life has passed

between fingers.

The war is in its fourth year,

and the wounds of torn

nights mortally

wound the hearts of the living

and the souls of the dead.

Friends betrayed

from faraway lands.

And their tears like mercury,

are soaked-with snake poison.
