To Sergei (My Distant Cousin Who Was Killed By Chechens)
I am looking at your picture
At your handsome, yet sad face
This picture is all
You’ve left me in this world
All the rest is just memories
MY memories.
You were young and so strong
But the cowards took it all
All at once
All at once
they took from you
and the question is just why
couldn’t you say something
I know you wouldn’t cry
When they had the cold knife
Right in front of your face?
It makes me angry
And I know why
I didn’t get a chance
To at least say GOOD BYE
You were only twenty-five.
