from Alexey Sklyarenko:
 
I thought I'd share with you this tiny poem:
 

Kot or – «который час» по-земблянски.

Kot or – словно время ускорило бег.

Kot or – спросил нас поэт славянский.

Kot or – о, как короток наш век!

 

Kot or – “what is the time” in Zemblan.

Kot or – as if time sped up.

Kot or – a Slav poet asked us.

Kot or – oh, how short our life is!
 
You will notice a palindrome in the last line.
