AFTERMATH

[yelena_z_11]

In the event of THIS, call me THAT.
Why had I learned to talk when I had?
In the event of peace, call me back,
I will explain the math, live or dead.

This is a tricky quiz, get me right,
How to make this place into peace
After – and this is why I’m tongue-tight –
After so many lives gone amiss.

After so many nights spent in queue
Waiting for nothing less than some light,
Only to master this: “I love you.”
Simple. And this is why – I’m tongue-tight.
