now i am having the adverse reaction to tv. i am different from you. now restless in the sleep. now pursuing some dream. now i am indifferent, locked without key. now sitting still. meditating. what looks like peace… it is an illusion

Ukrainian joke
an explosion
not far from Moscow
credit the Russians
smoking cigarettes
again
#katyamills
sense.less
a goldfish bowl
full of puppies sewn
with flags upon the floppy
fabric ears was passed
around
the missile
flown up into the sky
on government tv
the classroom in rapt attention
the austere faces of approval
a trail of smoke
recess
a few boys ran
behind the brick schoolhouse
and beat each other
senseless

taking leave
the days they made up in the shadow of war
visiting friends in the country drinking wine
lugged from France. leave lasted about as long
as an echo of a song. back to marching across
Europe he stepped out of formation once
thinking of her of their favorite dance

#Ukraine
word spread over forest river sea and sand
Ukraine countered the Russian offensive
reclaimed the land!
citizens found in pits hands tied behind backs
others told of holding wires connected to generators under interrogation
women came out of hiding to embrace
the faithful soldiers

out.stand.ing
we run on sentences
sunshine coffee and rain
we stand out in a world
run on credit and oil
and war
#katyamills
rumors of war
these divisions in the earth
pay heed. often invisible
noted by a sign or fence or posting
which side you are on may
be the difference between death
and life

Ukraine
seeing the vision in the Ukrainians
the volunteers the photojournalists
hope is restored. a country fights
for the values by which it came to exist!
that’s sacred. still. it’s war and
hope is also decimated

Ukraine – spotlight
a month ago they were creating videos
by drone for family and friends and social medias
today they are key players
enlisted to locate and surveil the enemy
recording evidence of war crimes

o.mission
they lost the sea a long time ago. they had to believe in the country as ascendant, powerful again. all they made off that land in the east, farming it, working it, was indispensable to the world. so roll the dice, old school style with tanks and battalions. the one in power decided it for them, the time was now, give your grown men for the military, the only chance was by land. a great many families got crushed up and swallowed. for what? by omission the whole thing was a lie. #katyamills
