Space was first conquered by a dog
as a child conquers an anthill
her story but an epilogue.

A tool of political will
found stray on the streets of Moscow
as a child conquers an anthill

In order to fulfill their vow
less courage, more indifference
found stray on the streets of Moscow

Hubris their deliverance
they calculated for her death
less courage, more indifference

Assuming she would run out of breath
such progress built on that one crime
they calculated for her death

Her martyrdom transcends her time
space was first conquered by a dog
such progress built on that one crime
her story but an epilogue.
