Notes:
• A collection of poems about various characters written during the Asiatober 2025 #asiatober_zoya25 • This year, I'd like to participate in this event with the poems in English. There is a collection like this in Russian on my FicBook profile (2024) • Maybe, not each day will be covered • The name of the collection is based on two Chinese idioms: 比翼双飞 bǐ yì shuāng fēi - to fly wing to wing (figuratively: to live in a perfect harmony, to be inseparable) 海枯石烂 hǎi kū shí làn - [until] the sea dries up and the stones rot (usually in oaths; figuratively: forever, forever and ever)

Bombs are exploding, and guns are fired Somewhere, you know, on the frontline of war. Money can’t save from disaster; what for Are we fighting, resisting the Bloody Sun? I will flee in the future, I’ll run, But you will stay: You have to, with your great battle, With this art — to protect, to settle By your own hand, — and not someone’s alien. Meanwhile, I’ll remember: pale face, red lips, The dance, the voice and smeary kiss, Somewhere behind the curtain. If love is the art, I’m certain, We are madly in her. Touching your scarf, — transparent, — blurred… Goodbye? Your theater, ticket, train, Last glance. Will we be given, — once more, — at least one Small chance? Will you return to me, Having won your battle? Hoping that I will see My flower strong as metal.
