…On second thoughts
I got back to the trash cans.
«I’m a human being too» -
the womn said in answer
to my rediculous bewildered question.
Of course she is unwell.
«They call me Baba Masha» -
she introduced herself .
It was so cold -
the air seemed to grow white.
The Day of Lifting of the Siege
was soon to come.
I left. I knew
That Baba Masha would be here
every day
To dig in garbage
As if in my soul.
