Defiance

gabrielsmy articles 5 Sep 2022

Friends, with me everything is okay.
Cuts on the head, eyebrow dissected,
concussion, broken nose suspected.

I, like millions of other Ukrainians,
would like to have a normal measure of power.
I told them to go fuck themselves.

(From The Abuse of Ukraine’s Best-Known Poet)
