what’s the nature of strife and of friendship?
I wish to be certain, to know.
I wish that without hesitation
I would mete out death to a foe;
that I feel not one moment of pity
for the scoundrels invading my soil
when I gaze at these latter-day fascists
coming here to destroy and despoil.…

Pebble-skinned August draws in, hastens.
A softness appears in the movements of leaves,
And overhead an impalpable haze,
And damp in the eyes. It’s time to awaken:
Pull back the curtains, accept it; it’s true
That no more than eighteen days still remain
Till the weeping, the sculpted edge and its flame,
Till midnight all new,…

Exactly twenty two years ago I turned twenty two years old,
My accomplice insisted that her name could never be known.
She’d take the bus across half the city and come into my place from the cold,
But according to the latest intelligence the city is now gone.
Everything she and I did those days took place between th…

кількадесятеро обраних
колись уклали договір
щоб і далі жити
на землі як у раю
їм треба раз у раз
постачати в рай небесний
певну кількість невинних душ
за день до нового року
безтурботні люди
ішли кудись у своїх справах
і навіть не уявляли
що їм упала величезна честь
стати підношенням богам
і що в раю для них уже застережені

What is this, dear mother, upon your hands?
What do you hold, father, in your hands?
I will always be devoted to you,
Yes, I will always be devoted to you,
Even if that is blood, this—a blade.
Should my devotion falter,
I could not be forgiven.
Should I utter a sacrilegious …

ПІД ЗАВАЛОМ
Лежала під плитою і волала.
Не знала, чи дістануть з-під завалу.
Раділа, що не гола, а у светрі.
Хапала ротом залишки повітря.
Уважно прислухалась: хтось довбеться.
Десь гупали, як їй здавалось, берці.
Від пилу й спраги дуже дерло в горлі.
Шуміло в вухах, мов у водогоні.
Сирена вила. Щось ревло, гурчало.
Вона щосили в темряві кричала,
Та від задухи поступово слабла...
Ще мріяла про во…

Between the Third Rome and the Third Reich
Tanks, like doves, keep flying.
Every war reminds me that I’m a kike
And all yellow stars are mine…
Angst splatters like mercury, and the fears
In my breast carve a gaping hole.
And every bullet leaves rips and tears
In the white robe of my s…

— Listen to me, — my mother would say,
— You can’t run around, you have to stay
In the yard. Don’t listen to neighbors’ stories:
They will whip your bottom, and you’ll be sorry.
Past the fence, they’re running a huge deficit
That’s why they are after our tulips and hyacinths.

Are we going to win or not Emperor Qin demands
His astrologer says it depends on the phase of the moon
But the moon Qin says has already left our lands
and the moon of clay can be only seen by blind men
The astrologer suggests divination by prisoners’ bones
by the flight of birds over the great river’s mouth

УМОВИ ІСНУВАННЯ
Може, все буде добре, і знов заспівають птахи
На уламках дерев, що лежать безпорадно у вирвах.
Може, зцілиш, мій Боже, розтрощений вщент небосхил,
І воскреснуть зірки, наче душі убитих невинно?
З хмари сірого відчаю крапає скляна сльоза,
Розбивається в пил на підлозі бетонного горя.
Туга рану в нутрі, наче лютий хижак, вигриза,
І за спалений обрій скорботи бредуть неозорі.

Showing the 12 most recent of 20 posts we hold for @antiwar_litpoint_org. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.
