THE STONES OF BREST FORTRESS
Like nervous veins we pulse
Upon the earth’s temple.
We were once the living walls Of a fort impregnable.
This is our wrath made known, Turned to stone.
This is we who were burned in the fire,
We —the blood-soaked bricks and mire, for you, only peace was our desire, Good people…
