love, 28 april '86
i am still in the reactor
although i disapprove of the fact of writing you
i dare my sorrowful soul to write you some soft words on a piece of paper
life has not been the same since the catastrophe
the most polluting industries have been relocated
i try more or less to keep my smile and to not let myself go
tell the children that their father will return very fast, i love them
the silence is unbearable, space is missing and the population decreases at great speed
but i still believe, i still believe
there's always debris - still every day one mission: destroy everything
the gamma rays are crazy about my flesh. flesh is more important than water
what's surely most important is to believe that we will see each other again one day
so if you, too, think of me, without a doubt we will meet again very very fast.
from tchernobyl with love
