Two Poems by Slava Konoval

Year of Darkness
A snowflake pinches the cheek,
the frost bites jokingly,
the fog is sliding on the ice.
As thunder tears apart a rocket supply,
the heart in pain, strangulation of the throat,
oh, that black fog covered the country.
There are thousands, tens of thousands of them.
Maybe hundreds of thousands
of worldly souls that flew to heaven,
from the sooty piles of smoke from the huts of towns and villages.
God, why such a punishment?

Cold drops of rain
Descending from the roof
the melting handfuls of snow.
Moaning and humming  
echoes outside the window  
the wind plays with the lonely poplar,
bends thin branches.
In the darkness of the apartment
confusion creeps
how is the Bakhmut city
my frontline friend?
