پوتین مرده است؟ – شعری از مجید نفیسی

Is Putin Dead?

        Majid Naficy

Today a mourning mother

Lit a candle

In the cathedral of Dnipro

For Putin’s death.

Likewise, I ask

My crystal ball every morning:

“Alexa!

Is Putin dead?”

And hear back:

“He is still alive.”

Alive or dead

The one who gets the job done

Has arisen

To drive out Russian troops

From Ukraine.

May his fire be kindled.
