Cotopaxi, Ecuador (summer 2012)

the ruins of Mariupol

from the mountains near Hiroshima

where gentle faces now bloom,

memories of a silent night

slip from a silent room

on the softest of slippers, 

as innocent as snow,

into purified air 

while the Japanese winds blow

to the far ruins of Mariupol

where innocent citizens died!

when a tyrant said he was peaceful

but mothers knew that he lied;

the children are hungry;

the old folks cried:

their shadows have fallen

and remain by their side.
