Dunya Mikhail Poems

She doesn't understand
what it means to be 'guilty'
...

The woman turned the cup upside down
Amid the figures and letters
She turned the light off and
...

The war
How serious
...

What good luck!
She has found his bones.
...

Yesterday I lost a country.
I was in a hurry,
...

It no longer overlooks the river
No longer is in the city
...

please don't ask me, America
I don't remember
...

The martyr couldn't believe his eyes
when his tomb was bombed
...

She pressed her ear against the shell:
she wanted to hear everything
...

He plays a train.
She plays a whistle.
They move away.

He plays a rope.
She plays a tree.
They swing.

He plays a dream.
She plays a feather.
They fly.

He plays a general.
She plays army.
They declare war.
