She’s blonde, she’s beautiful
she speaks perfect English
she lives somewhere in Ukraine
despite the war with Russia
where she lives you see no signs
of the wreckage. the annihilation, of war
no bomb blasts, no buildings demolished
life is going on just like here in the USA
people strolling nonchalantly in the streets
stopping to shop at local stores
except for one tragic reminder
on her YouTube profile, she wrote
widow of combat pilot, who died in the war.
