To Ukraine.
I love you so much, my love! and I’ve never had enough words to describe it, because there aren’t any. you are really cool, your people are cool. we are capable of anything for your sake, we will overturn mountains and conquer space. we will win in all tournaments and competitions. we will write thousands of poems and shoot hundreds of films. I want to shout about my love for you to the whole world, but no one will understand. it is about this state of eternal struggle for your existence, and therefore for my existence, because without you I am nothing. I am a mute non-citizen of the world. it’s about how the heart stops when you see at least some combination of yellow and blue colors. about «the red route» or «chervona ruta» at the football stadium. about «the city» of pidmohylnyi and about zhadan‘s «maria». it’s about my native Rivne, still incomprehensible to me Lviv, the incredible capital, warm Odesa and childhood Crimea. about Kharkiv, which is still unknown to me. about every city and village. I love you very much. always loved, always will.
