Евгения Ермольченко (г.Донецк) читает стихотворение “Надежда“
Genia Yermolchenko (Donetsk) reads her poem ’Hope’
26/02/22
literal translation
Hope
is a little word.
It is the last verse among all verses
and it is a sanctuary where praying is born
when the Great Lord stays so silent
when the masks you wear (playing games or having joy or sorrow)
fall from your face in the edge of doom.
Hope
is a tear of mercy
in a desperate and smothering darkness.
It is an alogical doubt
in a logical ending.
Nature is incompatible with logic,
it gives birth to miracles,
it is certainly violent
and it is kind beyond measure.
Hope
has just three short syllables,
but it is the most powerful word in the world.
Hope
is a little belief
in an inherent fatality of a miracle.
