Inna Ayrapetova
Raven
‘Raven’ – this word hides your wonderful name.
You flew away from me as the war came.
Maybe you suffer that I’m of no use.
Anyway, thank you for being my muse.
Here is my message to your boiling shores.
Friendships are not to be buried by wars.
Hostiles are corpses decaying so fast.
Quarrels are sepulchers. Break them at last!
Sorry if I am too honest or tough.
Please, recollect that I can make you laugh.
You should forgive me for my being rough.
If you’re a raven, be clever enough.
