    Perestroika Silence

    Do you remember, sister:
    Helicopters in the dark
    oversized insects
    red - eyed
    stirring polka dots
    on night’s black overcoat

    Gazing out the window
    into the Eastern sky
    we used to count them,
    monotonous humming -
    our lullaby

    When the Russians left
    their airbase abandoned
    when our part of the world
    had almost blended
    with the other
    sleep eluded me for hours
    In this long awaited silence
