MEMORIES
To run away barefoot
in the white snow
that covers the traces of blood.
The snow - crimson.

To run away barefoot.
In the stripped silent forest
in the forest
that freezes the gaze and vanishes.

To run away barefoot,
Between abysses,
hills of corpses -
the snow smiles.

Time - in ruins.
No belief.

Among corpses
we were alive.
