GI of Sky ( free translation from Urii Vlodov - great Russian Poet)


Urii Vlodov, great Russian Poet & dissident, 1978, Moscow underground...

_________________


this is a free translation from Vlodov poetm "Pamiatnik";
and, one more time, this is a Free Retelling of an original poem & I made this poem more
American like (given that almost every day American GIs die in Afghanistan!)

______________

GI of Sky

a soldier went through hell of flame,
became a legend, spark of fame,
GI of mighty sky.

    forgive me, kids, my dear wife,
I meet you soon in other life...
Your John,
GI of sky!
