My Small Reality
By Beau Beausoleil
Someone on
the radio says
that after
100 days
the war
in Ukraine
“has become
boring to some”
It is
summer
I am
in our
garden
where
I can
hear
the far
far away
I listen to
unseen
birds offering
a deep mournful
call
There is
more beauty
and fear
in this
world
than I can
comprehend
