Gennadi Kazakevitch. September 11, 2001

I was killed

in Dachau, in Treblinka,

in Saigon, in Beijing.
 

I was buried

in the ditches of Phnom Penh

and in the groves of Katyn.
 

Winds and snowstorms

of Kolyma

sang at my funeral.
 

And yesterday morning

I was killed

in carefree New York.

11 сентября 2001 года
 
Меня убивали

В Дахау, в Треблинке,

В Сайгоне, в Пекине.
 

Меня закопали

Во рвах под Пномпенем

И в рощах Катыни.
 

Меня отпевали

Ветра Колымы

И метели поземка.
 

И вот я погиб –

Вчера поутру

В беззаботном Нью-Йорке.

by Boris Khersonsky, Ludmila Khersonsky

Boris Khersonsky and Ludmila Khersonsky write poetry that speaks to the crisis of our time, when refugees run from bombardments, and nonstop propaganda flows from TV. The setting is Ukraine at the start of the twenty-first century, but it is eerily recognizable anywhere.
