Five Poems by Mykyta Ryzhykh

 



neighborhood crying
hand of anger
anger of the heart
weeping cities
^^ ^^ ^^
and these are birds
look over heads the war birds fly



***


hiroshima shot
\\\
rain obliquely
\\\
silence



***


Feelings turned inside out
Refined heart of memories
Instead of spring flowers
White people grow in black Mercedes


***


what we are looking for in russian poetry today
apart from war



***


home sun
spring rays warm the body
of a dead soldier
