“The Result was
Silence”
"Today
I initiated a telephone conversation with the President of the
Russian
Federation. The result was silence.”
-President Volodymyr Zelenskiy
There is no silence in Kiev this dawn
Morning commutes, intermittent news feeds
Explosions. Power failures. How many will die
Without finishing their WORDLE today
Old men rattle their dentures in outrage
Sky News reports a couple of police officers
In the street below, smoking cigarettes
Which makes more sense than most things just now
Kharkov’s air-raid sirens are deeper than Kiev’s
There is no silence in Kiev this dawn
