1)

Cold weather brings me comfort

as I watch outside the windows

Ghosts, please, stay out of my home

don't want to walk through fire nomore

2)

Paris shines in the whirling snow

people play chess drinking wine

an old newspaper reports:

" Tanks clashing near Kursk "

Ch.:

Deaf by the noise of roaring engines

Dumb since no one shall hear me crying.

Now I am safe, now I am home

but I was blind inside a tank at the end of all times

3)

Here in my warm flat

scent of coffe soothes me

but as I was chewing a cookie

far away we turned all engines on

4)

This is not where I come from,

this is not the place I belong

I saw the steel turned to life:

machines devouring each other in Ukraine.

Myra's thoughts:

I often dream of a strange man

I'm coffeine addict and I can't sleep at night.

Ch.:

Deaf by the noise of roaring engines

Dumb since no one shall hear me crying

Now I am safe, now I am homebut I saw a maddened christ from the slit of my T-34.
