A tribute to Anna Yutchenko

When her face
Made of sunlight and wisdom and joy
Gets closer to her pillow
I wonder how would I know
What she bears inside -
A mystification of a kind,
A bit of chaos in her neat and orderly life,
I dread emptiness,
What does she fear?

When her hands
Touch musical instruments
Once again I think
I would be better of
Across the ocean.

When her tone trembles,
Mine gets rough and pulls away from trouble,
For she could have been
The written word's saviour.

*This is a tribute to a living person who might have some common friends with me.

To be more exact, this is an attempt to make a sketch of her literary image.

The author herself has been awarded and nominated numerous times, and her position in the literary world of Ukraine is quite strong.
