when god closes one eye

By Maryna Smahina on November 18, 2018

when god closes one eye
he opens the other
and high in the mountains
the sun starts arising
blinking – he’s smiling
hearing our prayers
never responding
never betraying
closer to blue skies
we have no cover
standing before him
silent and solemn

I am a young Ukrainian author with two published novels: ‘Volkovytsi’ (2016) and ‘The Room’ (2018). Originally from the South of Ukraine, now I live in Kyiv, where I write and translate books. Currently, I’m working on a children book and some short stories.
