The world is woven from roads and cities, from the scents of herbs and the tastes of wine. Each country is a unique melody, woven from history, culture, and the destinies of its people. In these poems, I attempted to capture echoes of these melodies, to capture fleeting impressions and reflections on what it means to be part of this vast, diverse world. Let these lines become a small journey through unknown lands and long-familiar corners.

Argentina. Buenos Aires
Tango resounds like the ringing of passion, In old cafes, in the twilight of the night. Here, every step is a sad groan of fate, And in every glance, secret prophecies.
