Ukraine
(for Izyum)
By Beau Beausoleil
How many
bodies can
they hide
behind
their eyes
graves
in the
sandy
soil
of a
pine
forest
mass
graves
in cities
discarded
bodies
in backyards
under rubble
along roads
and streets
How
many
ways
are
there
to kill
a man
a woman
or even
a child
One day
we will know
