These Are Not Our Stars

(To Vladimir)
-------------------------

 

There is a star in the sky,

but it is not mine and not yours.

There is another star near it,

also not yours and not mine.

The stars are not necessary to us now,

What we need are many, many tears,

That we cry together 

About our lost, beloved son.
