“I carried evening lilac to you . . . ”
Written by Dmytro Chystiak
Translated from the Ukrainian by Hilary Sheers
Narrated by Bill Wolak
Kiev Ukraine
I carried evening lilac to you
Imbedded by my forebears
Flooded by honeyed showers
You will envelop me as in a dream
The fleeting and the volatile come to life
The lilac blossom holds no tears.
