The Quiet of Odessa by the Sea

[AlexandratheLate]

Very nice Bison.

Hello, a beautiful poem. After Ukraine wins I will definitely go to Odessa.

I've been less frequently back to the Zone - could it be? Seeing your name in the queue is a welcome sight, poet friend.

I find this a beautiful, if melancholy, write. One to ponder. Thank you!

As a fish I breathe
endless draughts of seconds heaving
against the simplicity of death

Do not seek to console
the suddenly stricken I understand
that this is passing

But I wish it were not so
