Way of Life

The second issue of the Jewish magazine “The Way of Life” for 2005, which is published in Kiev,presented  a selection of poems. The publication starts with the work “Babi Yar”, which has long been a standard for the author and most often printed, especially in Kiev publications. The magazine also introduced Alexander Korotko as  a writer of poems on Jewish themes, and has included a biography of the writer. * * * В твоих глазах, обугленных от слез, звучала поминальная молитва. И когда слово прикоснулось к своей сути и зазвонил колокол, совершенно опустошенное время вернулось из будущего и поселилось на окраине памяти. * * * Лишь предстоит еще устам произнести: «Из праха в прах». Куда ведут твои пути, бесплодная отчизна? Страшнее страха только страх. Лети, холодная душа, и подсмотри, как ангел пишет главы для фашизма.
