I kept it for thirty years.

Our family reunites
It takes a couple 'a years or so
To recover from the fights

Me, on a tricycle to the candy store,
Bright summer days I cannot ignore.

so many tears are shed.
With cries throughout the longest nights,
those nightmares are widespread.

I've maybe heard them once or twice,
but please bear this in mind -

Love in Kyiv
by Natalka Bilotserkivets
translation by Michael R. Burch

My grandparents lived on farms – both sides of my family.
My mother’s parents and my father’s parents.

FEEL AFRICA

Silence!
Silence Africa!
One can hardly get Africa to be silent;
Africa habours a pulsating bubble.
Everyone in Africa bounces to rhythm resilient.

Africa, like Zambia, or

Dear ones, whichever comes first
Swells with energy in the sun!
