Candles to burn
One for the dead on my mother’s side
One for the dead on my father’s side
One for the dead on my husband’s side
One for the surrogates and one for the sins
One for the children in Beslan
One for the Spanish travelers
One for a thousand
And one for the strivers
One for the children aiming the guns
One for the captains and one for the kings
One for diseases and dark winter days
And one, just one, just one for wings
