A Drone Above the Garden
Green month of May White blossoms on apple trees Warm evening air A drone above the garden Silently, I listen
Written in Kyiv during the ongoing war. Tanka — a Japanese form, five lines. May is beautiful here. The apple trees do not know about the war. The drone does not care about the blossoms. And somewhere between the warm evening air and the sound above, there is only silence and listening. That is what living here looks like now.
