SCARS

Scars by Valentina Novković - Russian Poetry - Russian Literature

To read all posts of Valentina Novković, Please click here

After a senseless

struggle for freedom

that often excludes

the view of eternity,

kneeling smiles remain,

hats miss meaninglessness,

narrowed eyes of compassion

seek excuses in thunders

who do not recognize weakness.

Because of victories

that can’t be held

between the palms,

their goblets mixed

with poison.

In front of the door

without guards and padlocks

– the scars heal on their own.

By prayer.

….

(Self-Translation from SERBIAN)
